Weston & Oak

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 24, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 7,259 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 145. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,825 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,183). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 2,183 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,825 from 4:00 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 (32 collisions), and 2025 closed with 13. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 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. The most recent was on Jun 5, 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 Weston Rd between Humberview Cres and Oak St (53 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 23,000 vehicles a day. Oak St between Knob Hill Dr and Gary Dr measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Jul 2023).

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.

19 registered apartment buildings with 1,748 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 2460 Weston Rd (46 m, 214 units, 27 storeys, built 1973), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

Toronto Police place 42 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 7.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 5.3 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 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.
