Old Weston & Turnberry

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 17, 2013

The north leg carries the load — 4,328 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 284. Most cyclists arrived from the south (34 of 58). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,698 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,364). Trucks and buses were 10.1% 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 2013, 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: 1,364 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,698 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

2023 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 36% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 25% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Dec 23, 2019.

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.

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.

3 registered buildings · 361 units · 2 social housing · tallest 11 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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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.
