Nova Scotia's highway network connects the urban hub of Halifax to the coastal communities of the South Shore, the Annapolis Valley, and Cape Breton Island. The province manages a diverse road network of over 23,000 kilometers, including more than 8,400 kilometers of gravel roads that account for 35% of the provincial total. Monitoring these routes is essential for navigating Atlantic Canada's unique weather and seasonal tourist traffic.

Halifax Traffic Monitoring
As Atlantic Canada's largest city, Halifax presents the region's most significant traffic challenges. The city's geography on a narrow peninsula, combined with only two harbour crossings, creates predictable daily bottlenecks.

Driving in Nova Scotia requires awareness of coastal weather patterns and seasonal shifts. From dense Atlantic fog to heavy winter Nor'easters, conditions can change rapidly.
Maritime Winter & Coastal Hazards
- Nor'easters: Intense coastal storms can drop heavy snow and ice in hours, often accompanied by high winds that can affect bridge and ferry operations.
- Bridge Queues: The Halifax harbour bridges are major bottlenecks during rush hour (7:30-9:00 AM and 4:30-6:00 PM).
- Coastal Fog: Visibility can drop to near-zero along the South Shore and Cape Breton coastlines, requiring slow speeds and headlight use.
- Wildlife: Moose and deer collisions are a significant risk, particularly at dusk and dawn on rural highways like Highway 101 and 104.
