Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 15, 2022
The north leg carries the load — 8,810 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 581. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,453 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,614 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 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.
Peak hours: 2,453 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,614 from 4:15 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2020
The City's counter on Warden Ave between Warden Av S and Lowcrest Blvd (136 m away) recorded an average of 60 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 29,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Warden Ave · Warden Av S – Lowcrest Blvd · 136 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 29,351 | 60 km/h | 68 km/h | 73 km/h |
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.

Is Warden & Arkona a walkable intersection?
Warden & Arkona scores 38 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure; the city median is 48.

Within a walk: 1 school within 500 m · 1 licensed child care within 500 m; 3 stops within 300 m · 8 routes within 1 km; 1 park within 500 m.
