and evaluated "Heavy Truck" movement on Rosebank Road between Kingston Road
and Sheppard Avenue. Utilizing an Automatic Traffic RecorderNehicle Axle classifier, it
was determined that of the 2220 vehicles traveling daily along this section of Rosebank
Road, 10% were classification #5 vehicles or larger. These vehicles are generally
described as vehicles on a single frame having 2 axles and 6 wheels (dual rear tires).
The classification is higher than buses. Rosebank Road is classified as a Type C
arterial road with an 8.5m width, built to residential, local road standards.
The by-law amendment, as proposed, will prohibit heavy trucks on Rosebank Road,
between Kingston Road and Sheppard Avenue.
