Weston & Oxford

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 19, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,915 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 197 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (44 of 78). Evening rush dominates here: 1,281 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,088 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 14.2% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,088 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,281 from 5:00 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 2022, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 8 collisions (33%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 28, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Weston Rd between York Ave and Eglinton Ave W, 332 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,800 vehicles a day.

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.

17 registered buildings · 1,139 units · 4 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.

11 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto 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.
