Senlac & Churchill

Traffic volume8-hour count · 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 16,177 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.

Peak hours: 809 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 891 from 5:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 5 collisions. 3 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

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. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 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). At the school-zone speed sign on Churchill Ave (115 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 32,378 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

One theft from a vehicle and no bike thefts were reported around this corner 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 Willowdale West.
