Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Spadina Ave & King St W — 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 King & 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.

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 29, 2026
The south leg carries the load — 11,270 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 728. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,767 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,904 from 7:00 p.m. 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 counter on Spadina Ave between King St W and Lane N of King and E of Spadina (29 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 5-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 8,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spadina Ave · King St W – Lane N of King and E of Spadina · 29 m | Sep 2021 · 5 days | 8,334 | 41 km/h | 51 km/h | 57 km/h |
| King St W · Spadina Ave – Brant St · 109 m | Nov 2015 · 7 days | 20,065 | — | — | — |
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
2016 was the peak year (78 collisions), and 2025 closed with 32. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 99 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 16 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Feb 12, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Feb 12, 2025 |
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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Since January 2026, 6 more have been reported, the latest on May 30, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 30, 2026.
