Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 15, 2026
The north leg carries the load — 15,174 southbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,055. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,987 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,848 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 3,987 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,848 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2019 was the peak year (115 collisions), and 2025 closed with 75. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 100 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 56 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 20, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
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.
