Cosburn & Oak Park

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 1, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,443 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 264 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (97 of 187). Evening rush dominates here: 472 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 398 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 12.1% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 398 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 472 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).

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.
