McRoberts & Eglinton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 27, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,112 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 340. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,072 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,748). Trucks and buses were 13.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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: 1,748 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,072 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

2018 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.

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.

21 registered apartment buildings with 1,204 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 502 Gilbert Ave (317 m, 23 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 91 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

21 registered buildings · 1,204 units · 4 social housing · tallest 21 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Caledonia-Fairbank.
