Weston & Rutherford

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 19, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,421 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 85. Most cyclists arrived from the south (30 of 54). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,095 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (927). Trucks and buses were 13.8% 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 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: 927 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,095 from 4:45 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 (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 14% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 24, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2020

The City's counter on Weston Rd between Victoria Blvd and Rutherford Ave (54 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 15,100 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.

14 registered apartment buildings with 1,599 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1321 Weston Rd (110 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 78 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

14 registered buildings · 1,599 units · 5 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.

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025, though 1 has been reported since January 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 Mount Dennis.
