Nova Scotia highway webcams are operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (TIR). Most are mounted on tall steel towers and accompanied by
Road Weather Information Systems equipment which have special sensors embedded in the road and on the tower to collect data on weather conditions affecting the road surface. The sensors measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and wind direction and speed. There are now 47 highway cameras on the department's website. Images from all of Nova Scotia's highway cameras are available online at the
Highway Cameras Page. The page receives up to 250,000 visits per month in winter.
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 on the west side of the Highway 101 overpass at Ben Jackson Road. In the median on the north side of the highway, the camera looks northwest up the highway, away from the overpass.
