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 camera is mounted on the south side of Highway 104, just east of the centre of the overpass going over Sporting Mountain Road. It looks east down Highway 104 and the eastern exit 47. Here Highway 104 is known as the Miners Memorial Highway. The camera is 7.5 kilometres west of the centre of St. Peters.
