Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 4, 2004
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,226 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 346 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,321 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (1,160). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 1,321 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,160 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 2004
On Spadina Rd between Ardmore Rd and Silverwood Ave, 44 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2004 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more.

| Spadina Rd · Ardmore Rd – Silverwood Ave · 44 m | Mar 2004 · 3 days | 12,949 | 47 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |
