Senlac & Horsham

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 3, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,826 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 155 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 702 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (617). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 702 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 617 from 4:30 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 2023, with 2 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 3 collisions (27%) involved an injury. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 4, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Horsham Ave between Hazelglen Ave and Cobden St, 345 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2001 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 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) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Churchill Ave (193 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.

Speed sign

Churchill Ave (eastbound), 193 m — 50 km/h zone. Median 19 km/h, 85th percentile 39 km/h; 0.1% at 60 km/h or more. 32,378 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

One theft from a vehicle and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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.
