Springhurst & Jameson

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 22, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,240 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 68% of the total, against 428 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,932 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,347 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 14.9% 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 1,347 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,932 from 2:00 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

The worst year was 2024, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 5 collisions (4%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 16, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 24, 2011.

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

On Jameson Ave between Springhurst Ave and King St W, 186 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2022 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Jameson Ave (205 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 35,813 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Springhurst Avenue between Jameson Ave and Dufferin St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 97 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 6,384 rental units, 6.5× the median for a Toronto intersection — 16 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 79 Jameson Ave (47 m, 121 units, 7 storeys, built 1962), which scored 95 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

97 registered buildings · 6,384 units · 16 social housing · tallest 23 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.

15 thefts from vehicles and 15 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 4.0 a year before that. 73% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 53% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 South Parkdale.
