Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. 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, Jan 26, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 1,727 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 171. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 625 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 592 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 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

The City's counter on Hounslow Ave between Senlac Rd and Elgin Rd (101 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 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 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Churchill Ave (279 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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
