Jane & John

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 25, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 13,780 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 210. Most cyclists arrived from the south (58 of 117). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,376 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,094). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,094 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,376 from 4:15 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

2022 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 11% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Feb 11, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.

John Street (Pine St – Jane St): 3 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

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.

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 71% 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 Rustic.
