Driving Downtown Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia [WINTER]

- A quiet evening drive to Woodside from downtown Halifax via the MacDonald Bridge and downtown Dartmouth. Dartmouth used to be an independent city until amalgamation into the Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996.
What a wonderful video. I visited Halifax in February 2016 and I loved the city. I was surprised at the mild temperatures and lack of snow, but apparently you guys got inundated shortly after I left. I stayed in both the Lord Nelson and Waverly Inns, and I loved them both, but especially loved the Waverly. There is so much history and character in Halifax, and I especially liked Barrington Street and the downtown area. I am glad there are no skyscrapers in Halifax. I definitely want to come back again, and seeing this video makes my heart yearn even stronger for another visit.
Love all your videos. Keep them coming.
Great video 💐💐💐👍👍.
i love watching these full screen..even tho it makes me a little queasy..lol..i cant believe how different the old moirs look..i havent been down there in a long time and i loved where the video ended..great as always!!
Nice walk too, and I actually got motion sickness watching this.
This is my very first time actually watching this certain vid...👁️👁️
...And...
I am really so very SURPRISED AND SHOCKED that it is timelapsed instead of the normal speed that a vid should be...😳😳
Which means that for us that are getting DIZZY actually watching this vid...😳💫🤢
We have to go to the settings and slow down the vid for ourselves...🤔
Which I THINK would somehow RUIN the quality of the vid itself...😳
Gee whiz!!😳
In fort Mac working, really miss the city. Thanks for this!
There should be an underground tunnel connecting Veterans Memorial Highway and Circumferential Highway.
Yassine, that is a toll booth... People can get what is called a MacPass for the two bridges the span the harbor in Halifax. It is a transponder that is attached to your inside window. You can add money on this through an account when needed or have it done automatically when the account gets low. You pay $0.70 going through the toll with the pass. If you do not have a pass it cost $1.00. With a pass, you drive slow through the toll booth and it reads your transponder and lifts the gate. When paying in cash, you have to slow right now and throw money into a "net". When you placed enough money you can proceed through and the gate is lifted.
NOTE: It costs more for semi trucks to go though, which can only used the other bridge not seen in the video due to weight restrictions.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Awesome stuff!
i love halifax , maybe because im living there and was born there but i find it amazing in every season
I was originally from Digby NS and have been to halifax and dartmouth a few times. Living here in moncton now and just watching this makes me want to move back and live in the hrm
Halifax needs some skyscrapers, these height restrictions are riduclous
Yeah, there is zero room on the peninsula and other cities managed to keep their historic feel whilst having skyscrapers. C'mon guys, they as long as they don't block the harbor view I don't see the problem with them.
What is so good about skyscrapers?
@@kielwalker8920 uses less land. Less damage for the environment.
Why do they have the height restrictions, and what are the restrictions like the maximum height allowed to build.
Agreed a nice skyline would draw more people to the city. It could use some modernizing. Great people though!
Great Video
Would be great if you could do a walking video of the Shannon Park area. I used to live there back in the 80's, and I am saddened to see the state it is in today.
Thanks. It's a Kodak Zi8 standing on my dash. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for commenting :D
I wanted to make kind of an historical archive so that people in the future can see what NS looked like however many years ago. I also like to share our province with people who have left or would just like to see what it looks like normally. Lots of my subscribers are people who grew up here and like to see what home looks like today. Thanks for subbing, watching, and commenting :D
I live in Dartmouth
I don't know for sure, but I see a lot of Sunfires, Corollas, Golfs, and Jettas. I've never seen one of those Trailer Park Boys cars cruising around haha. They only do that in the show.
Wonderful video...thank you for sharing. Just wondering what you used to record the video. Is it a dash mounted cam? It looks like it's right on the front bumper of the car. Excellent quality!
@johnhendrik Thanks! Glad you enjoy!
which car did you use for this? great work by the way!
I learnt a couple things here . #1 you drive an electric car (silent) #2 you don't drive a Volvo as you didn't break down , #3 You don't play music in your car #4 You just had a big storm as there is beach sand everywhere - Cool Video - Mark / Miami
There's just no audio idiot
are you serious?
$1 bridge toll? Damn. Here in the states bridge tolls are like $5
samsquanch1996 It’s up to $1.50 now lol
@crxtech1 It sure is. Thanks, as always, for watching.
church street! my friend use to live in a basement apartment directly across from these apartments.. i use to park my car there all the time. lol
very cool , is that a oil rig at the end?
For those when watching this vid are getting quite dizzy...😳💫🤢
Here is 1 hell of a great tip...😁
Slow down the speed of this vid to 0.25 ...😁
This way, the speed of this vid is somewhat of a *normal speed*!!...😁
...And...
In the process, you certainly will NOT even get dizzy😳💫🤢 whatsoever at all!!😁
Does anybody here knows Bonnie Brae Trailer Park at Darmouth? Is it a good place to live?
Where that underground parking lot and what street does it come out onto?
CptSchmidt...Nice vid of your 626 minutes drive from DTH to DTD-WOODSIDE...😁🛣️🌉
But why in tarnation is your vid timelapsed for??!!...😳🤔
Made a few of us quite dizzy while watching it!!😳💫🤢
Agreed.
@wimpie25 You're allowed to turn right on a red in Nova Scotia.
@drivemovie Thank you.
Didn't you run the red light at 2.42?
whats good food places 2 go at up there in Canada?
....... who asks a question like that? There are good food places every where but I've never seen little restaurants that become country wide. Or massive chain restaurants I'd ever say are above those. Good eats are one off places they literally are different everywhere. If ya want good food ideas differentiate by province.
@iaink51 Cool. I've been to Scotland many times. I've got family in Greenock and Port Glasgow. If you want to see Portland Street, I've got some videos called "Route 207 that feature the whole thing, from downtown Dartmouth all the way to Porters Lake. Hope you watch them!
Show more like this
3:20 It looks like a toll booth but why do some stop and others go through?
You can get a Mac pass so you can go straight through. Others have to pay change.
play this vid while watching usher yeah song its pretty cool
That's a pretty nice ending if I do say so myself :P
No, I don't think that it is. That's more a rural Nova Scotia thing. It depends what kind of work you're looking for, but there are more jobs in the HRM than elsewhere in the province.
@CptSchmidt
Ah I didn't know that, I learned something new today :p
Nah. They were turning right on the light. There's no sign there that says no right turns on red =)

It's probably the most ridiculous sign in the city. I don't think I have ever seen anyone obey it, and I've never seen the police care about it either. Could you imagine how backed up traffic would get there during rush hour if nobody turned right?

Ween (Halifax)

Canadians aren't joking when they say "snow became mud after a few days"... the roads are so dirty
Its cause they add salt and sand to melt the snow
how look like KUALA LUMPUR if Malaysia got Winter ????cannot imagine how ,,,hihihihihhihii,
shoulda took a left off the bridge lol 2 different ways 2 different places
Uhm nova Scotia is better than long island
I live there, no one listens to that sign. Its foolishly placed.
You drive way too fast, even for a Canadian.
This is a timelapse video, moron.
halifax is not great : crime rate is high, no major sports, taxes through the roof, its dirty, bad transit system, JOBS ARE TRASH LOW PAYING, winter are tough, No train, No money invested, GDP is at only 1.9 Rent is up, schools are expensive. tons of noise.
trailer park boys are from datmouth not halifax aka woodbine trailer park for season 1 and 2

Says the guy from New Jersey LOL
Alexander Bichutski how about you just keep your mouth shut and stop talking shit about other cities. it is definitely not a “ugly city” as your ugly ass would say
