Nova Scotia highway webcams are operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (TIR). Most are mounted on tall steel towers which have weather sensors included on the tower. 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.
In Cobequid Pass north of Cobequid Bay, this highway webcam is on the west side of Highway 104, the Trans Canada Highway, about 25 kilometres south of Oxford. The camera, just south of the summit of Cobequid Pass, looks south away from the summit down the highway.
