Jones & Boultbee (South)

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 23, 2017

The south leg carries the load — 2,761 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 201. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 912 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 865 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 13.7% 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 912 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 865 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

2019 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 4% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 21% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2025.

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 most recent was on Dec 1, 2023.

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 Jones Ave between Boultbee Ave and Hunter St (111 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 8,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Boultbee Ave between Planning Boundary and Blake St measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Sep 2018). At the school-zone speed sign on Jones Ave (84 m away, 30 km/h limit), 64% of the 119,779 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Speed sign

Jones Ave (southbound), 84 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 42 km/h, 85th percentile 49 km/h; 64% at 40 km/h or more. 119,779 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.

Six registered apartment buildings with 576 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 10 Boultbee Ave (275 m, 167 units, 11 storeys, built 2001), which scored 92 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

6 registered buildings · 576 units · 5 social housing · tallest 14 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 two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Blake-Jones.
