Weston & Jane

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 4, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,232 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 5,100 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,641 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,774 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,641 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,774 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

The worst year was 2018, with 34 collisions; 2025 recorded 21. 52 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 29, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Mar 4, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2020

On Weston Rd between Dora Spencer Rd and Sidney Belsey Cres, 273 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 61 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 22 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,951 rental units — seven social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 12 Buttonwood Ave (364 m, 40 units, 4 storeys, built 1977), which scored 92 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 22 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

22 registered buildings · 2,951 units · 7 social housing · tallest 24 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 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 Mount Dennis.
