Cosburn & Todmorden

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 13, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,767 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 579 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 555 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 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: 579 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 555 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).

How fast traffic moves here

The City's most recent midblock count on Cosburn Ave between Pape Ave and Todmorden Lane (144 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 4,570 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Donlands Ave (334 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.0% of the 93,806 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
