Nova Scotia highway webcams are operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (TIR). Most are mounted on tall steel towers, most of which have weather sensors included on the tower. The sensors measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and wind direction and speed.
The webcam pic below is more or less real time and will update every 30 to 40 minutes, depending on conditions.
This highway webcam is right at Exit 5 for southbound traffic on the south side of Hwy 104. The exit is for Highway 142 leading southwest to Springhill. The camera looks east toward the highway 142 overpass.
