Traffic volume14-hour count · 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,565 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 2,241 from 5:15 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

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%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 31 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 8, 2026.

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.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

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 14,121 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Robert St (northbound), 178 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 16 km/h, 85th percentile 27 km/h; 0.4% at 40 km/h or more. 14,121 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

20 registered apartment buildings with 1,539 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, eight of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 484 Spadina Ave (92 m, 166 units, 16 storeys, built 2021), which scored 99 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

20 registered buildings · 1,539 units · 8 social housing · tallest 24 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place 33 thefts from vehicles and 58 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 15× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 9.1 a year. 94% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 41% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 22, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Kensington-Chinatown.
