Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Spadina Ave & College St — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for College & Spadina, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby

LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 2, 2026
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 5,307 vehicles entering from the east to 6,310 from the west. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,241 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (1,565). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
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 most recent midblock count on Spadina Ave between Lane S of College and E of Spadina and College St (0 m away, Sep 2009) recorded volume only — about 24,680 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Robert St (178 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 15,276 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spadina Ave · Lane S of College and E of Spadina – College St · 0 m | Sep 2009 · 3 days | 24,680 | — | — | — |

Robert St (northbound), Opp 30, Robert St · 15,276 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2018 was the peak year (54 collisions), and 2025 closed with 27. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 70 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Jul 30, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.
By year

| In darkness | 2 | 67% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 6 | latest Jul 30, 2020 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
