Old Weston & St Clair

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 9, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 8,432 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,828. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,415 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 57% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,535). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,535 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,415 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

2019 was the peak year (58 collisions), and 2025 closed with 33. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 47 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 24 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 10, 2026.

None of the five serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 5 pedestrians were among those hurt. 4 of the 5 happened in darkness — 80%, above the citywide 39%. 2020 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Sep 19, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 8.

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 Old Weston Rd between Townsley St and Ed Clark Gdns (117 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 2-day count in June 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. St Clair Ave W between Silverthorn Ave and Osler St measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Nov 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Osler St (185 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 6,141 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Osler St (southbound), 185 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 6 km/h, 85th percentile 23 km/h; 0.0% at 40 km/h or more. 6,141 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.

Two registered apartment buildings with 365 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, all of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 223 Osler St (607 m, 13 units, 4 storeys, built 1992), which scored 81 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

2 registered buildings · 365 units · 2 social housing · tallest 17 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 11 thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 45% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 5, 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 Weston-Pelham Park.
