Spadina & Kilbarry

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 24, 2009

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,084 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 576 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,081 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,167 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 1,081 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,167 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2017, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 5 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 4% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 15, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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, 320 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. That segment carries about 12,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Kilbarry Rd between Dunloe Rd and Spadina Rd measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jul 2004). 2 speed humps slow traffic on Kilbarry Road between Spadina Rd and Dunloe Rd (installed 2006).

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.
