Weston & Ray

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 25, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,998 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 1,123 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 78). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,278 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,271 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 12.6% 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: 1,278 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,271 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 2018, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 6 collisions (27%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 6, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 30, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2021

On Ray Ave between Railway Lane and Industry St, 178 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2013 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Weston Rd between Hollis St and Locust St measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jun 2021) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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 14 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,065 rental units — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1240 Weston Rd (116 m, 22 units, 3 storeys, built 1954), which scored 87 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

14 registered buildings · 1,065 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.

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.
