Woodmount & Cosburn

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 27, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,307 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 267 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (39 of 83). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 999 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 969 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 999 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 969 from 5:00 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

The worst year was 2019, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 3 collisions (20%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 30, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 25, 2018.

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 Cosburn Ave between Roblin Ave and Glebemount Ave, 202 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2005 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Woodmount Ave between Cosburn Ave and Plains Rd measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Woodmount Avenue between Cosburn Ave and O'Connor Dr.

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.

Three thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Old East York.
