Millwood & Overlea

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 16, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 13,124 westbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 9,355. Most cyclists arrived from the east (434 of 1,007). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,182 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,557). Trucks and buses were 7.0% 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: 2,557 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,182 from 4:30 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 23 collisions. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 17, 2017.

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 2022

The City's counter on Millwood Rd between Overlea Blvd and Leaside Park Trl (54 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 34,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
