Jane & Driftwood

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 4, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,547 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 592 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,346 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,010 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 2,010 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,346 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2023, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 22 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 23 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2022. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Jul 30, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

How fast traffic moves here

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

14 registered buildings · 2,510 units · 3 social housing · tallest 34 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Five thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Black Creek.
