Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 3, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 13,051 southbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,171. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,651 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,072). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Overlea Blvd between Charles H Hiscott Bdge and Don Mills Rd (70 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 23,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Overlea Blvd · Charles H Hiscott Bdge – Don Mills Rd · 70 mSep 2021 · 3 days23,56448 km/h56 km/h61 km/h
Don Mills Rd · West Don River Trl – Overlea Blvd · 81 mMar 2010 · 3 days27,525

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
