Oriole & Kilbarry

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 13, 2016

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,299 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 125 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,859 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,439 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 2,439 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,859 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).

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 Oriole Pkwy between Walmsley Blvd and Duggan Ave, 341 m from the corner, a 7-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Kilbarry Rd between Avenue Rd and Forest Hill Rd measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jan 2006). At the school-zone speed sign on Oriole Pkwy (103 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.7% of the 7,189 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Kilbarry Road between Forest Hill Rd and Oriole Pkwy.
