Jane & Sandcliff

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,334 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 213 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (34 of 55). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,779 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,916 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,779 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,916 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Ten 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.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 14, 2026.

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 Rockcliffe-Smythe.
