Jane & Folkes

Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 19, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,845 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 85 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (47 of 99). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 925 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 976 from 3:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.6% 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 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 925 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 976 from 3:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
