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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 17, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,202 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 368 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 891 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 809 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Churchill Ave between Abbotsford Rd and Claywood Rd, 304 m from the corner, a 2-day count in February 2022 put the average speed at 46 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 2,900 vehicles a day. Senlac Rd between Churchill Ave and Horsham Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jan 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Churchill Ave (115 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 36,391 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

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

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.
