Jane & York Gate

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 13, 2014

The north leg carries the load — 6,029 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,183. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,200 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,188 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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: 2,200 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,188 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

2016 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 23% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Aug 29, 2026. 2 older KSI collisions are on file from before 2016.

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

The City's counter on York Gate Blvd between Hullmar Dr and Jane St (75 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 6,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Stong Crt between Driftwood Ave and Jane St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Jul 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Jane St (76 m away, 30 km/h limit), 67% of the 199,431 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Speed sign

Jane St (southbound), 76 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 43 km/h, 85th percentile 54 km/h; 67% at 40 km/h or more. 199,431 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

15 registered apartment buildings with 2,687 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 100 York Gate Blvd (122 m, 133 units, 11 storeys, built 1965), which scored 87 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 15 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

15 registered buildings · 2,687 units · 4 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.

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.7 a year. 56% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 88% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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.
