Cumberland St & Lane W of Yonge and N of Cumberland

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 20, 2006

The west leg carries the load — 1,015 eastbound vehicles, or 70% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 426. Most cyclists arrived from the west (36 of 41). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 253 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 62% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (156). Trucks and buses were 8.6% 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 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 156 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 253 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).

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Cumberland St between Yonge St and Lane W of Yonge and N of Cumberland (52 m away, Jan 2008) recorded volume only — about 7,832 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.
