Osler & Pelham

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 17, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,187 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 9 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (53 of 107). Evening rush dominates here: 368 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 334 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 334 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 368 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).

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Pelham Ave between Laughton Ave and Uxbridge Ave, 238 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 41 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Osler St between Cariboo Ave and Pelham Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Jul 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Osler Street between Pelham Ave and Lindner Streetpelham Park Gardens.
