Spadina & Davenport

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 9, 2025 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,701 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,254. Most cyclists arrived from the west (36 of 75). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 932 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (705). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 705 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 932 from 3:45 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

2019 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 19, 2011.

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 counter on Spadina Rd between Austin Ter and Castle View Ave (206 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 14,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Davenport Rd between Macpherson Ave and Glen Edyth Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Toronto Police place no thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Casa Loma.
