Very slick production. I can't believe Halifax has such a wide freeway. I never knew.
Trans Canada Phil it doesn't
umm? 1:36
yes it is in dartmouth but it's HRM
One of the best videos I have ever seen on TH-cam -- well done!!!
Touching
Nova Scotia Highway 111 is a partial beltway in the metro area of Halifax. It circles 13 km starting from Halifax crossing the Halifax Harbor with the A. Murray MacKay Bridge and encircles around Halifax's neighbor, Dartmouth.
fantastic Tim , excelent footage tks !
The video started off on Pleasant Street in South Woodside. I grew up on Brompton Rd during the eighties. That part of the road used to be called the "bear trap".
Nice piece of roadway. I think the best we have in Calgary is a 8 lane section of freeway. That could change in the next few years with the new freeway being built on the west side of Calgary.
Excellente vidéo j'adore. Beau montage !
Awesome ride and pretty good editing! :)
Holy shit!! I've lived in Dartmouth my whole life!! Was so weird to see this pop up after watching your Cities Skylines videos haha
What is true then?
Where I live in Fairfax Va in the US, the capital beltway gets up to 14 lanes wide (it surrounds Washington DC)
s t 14 lanes all across or on each side ?
Would you still recommend the Sony HDR-AS50?
I live in Halifax in the centre of the city although I like Dartmouth to sometimes cruiuse and shop because I like Burnside for the shops, and the Dartmouth Crossing and the Superstore in Cole Harbour area is better than the one on Quinpool Road and the one on Barrington is not much good for selection of products. Jo Howe is not a bad one though. The Penhorn Sobeys is also reasonable. No Sears anymore although will see what goes up there. There is also a few good used stores - Value Village near the Woodside Terminal, Goodies in Burnside and a Thrift store in East Dartmouth. Happy Harrys is another store there in the Burnside area and all these are places my dad and I go. I also like the Costco as its less busy than the one in Bayers Lake, aswell as the Home Depot which is less busy and offers somewhat better deals on things we buy
I love your videos!!! I'd like see videos of highways of Europe... France, Germany,Uk , Spain....
but really the thing I would like ... visit Canada and USA!!! best regards from Spain!!
Also I forgot to mention MicMac Mall is also reasonable. I am not sure what will become of the Bay there although it is spacy to walk around. Only in the mall otherwise we visit the watch shop where we know one of the guys who works there and fixes them well
Aha here in Winnipeg all roads are full of cracks, and really bad bumps. Also, the roads are terrible, there so tight and narrow in intersections, and due to Winnipegs enormous population, highways for some stupid reason haven't been built in Winnipeg....
FuryC Nova Scotia is worse in some areas
The widest motorways you get in the UK are 8 lanes wide (4 on each side with a hard shoulder).
Elevating Europe the m6 smart motorway has 12 lanes
The widest we have in the U.S. Is maybe 12 lanes on each side it gets hard to count though once you get past 5 lanes per side
I have driven that stretch a million times I swear. If interested I have a handful of driving vids on my channel from in and around Halifax/Dartmouth.
😎
It's empty! Where is everyone? I live in Toronto, I'd kill to drive on a highway that empty!!
This was on a Sunday morning so that's probably why. I'm not from Halifax but I assume it can get pretty crammed on the 111.
As a Haligonian I'll fill you in TJ, Morning and afternoon rush hour can see medium and even heavy traffic, moving in both directions. However it has a slight bias, let's say 60/40 split towards Halifax, this is of course without accidents on the bridge or highway afterwards. If there is an accident you can expect significant delays, sometimes you're better off driving around the entire harbour.
As a Halifax native, from my experience driving on the Circumferential Highway, the 8 to 10 lane sections between Exits 4 and 6 can have heavy traffic volumes throughout the day, especially during weekday rush hour periods.
I'm originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia myself.
I agree that traffic levels on the 8-10 lane sections of the Circumferential Highway can have heavy traffic volumes, and lane switching can be very difficult as other motorists have a tendency to get in the way.
Highway 118's Dartmouth Crossing corridor is especially dangerous as their highway layout is a little confusing.
Can you do 401 Toronto
Nice and NS Hwy 111 seems to be 4-10 lanes wide like I-5 in San Diego and LA metro area and northeastern US highways like I-93 Concord NH, to Boston, MA I-84 Hartford, CT area I-95 Florence NJ to Boston, MA via Bronx, NY New Haven, CT & Providence, RI. Not Sure if you are going to film highways in the United States particularly NH,ME,MA & CT those states are 4-7 hours from New Brunswick via Houlton, ME border crossing start point of I-95 (NJ Turnpike NYSTA New England Thruway NYSDOT Cross Bronx Express Way MD SHA / Del dot JFK Memorial Hwy Delaware Turnpike Penndot Vietnam Veterans Highway NHDOT Blue Star Turnpike & Maine Turnpike)
Who actually Cares?
Pardon?
What do you use to record the drive? It's really well done and crisp!
I use a Sony AS50 action cam. Works great, 1080p 60fps
Very cool! I can't wait to see more Cities Skyline videos! Hope you do a tutorial or time-lapse of your builds. It's very impressive.
+Freeway Tim I use a very similar camera, the Sony AS100v
Wich one has the best camera between you and him ?
+Freeway Franks They're pretty much the same in terms of video quality. The AS50 is newer so it has a few more features. Side by side you probably coudn't tell the difference
So wait does Canada have an interstate of its own?
Trans-Canada Highway...Each province also has its own Provincial Highways...In Nova Scotia the 100-Series highways are the freeways/highways that take you around the province. Ontario, for example, has the 400-series highways, which are a similar thing.
Do you live in the Nova Scotia, or elsewhere?
Also are you ever planning to come to Ontario and check out our glorious 400 series highways?
I live in New Brunswick. I don't have any plans yet to go to Ontario but I would love to sometime!
+Freeway Tim it's ironic that the Canadian city that is the most well known to non-Canadians, Toronto, is probably the least covered. We've got road videographers living in New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba (myself), A few guys from Alberta. But not so much from Southern Ontario.
+Trans Canada Phil I might get a dash cam once I get my G2. Maybe I'll try to make some videos, who knows?
And NS, Phil :P
+CptSchmidt yes last but not least ☝️😀
Show more like this
I would love to see one of these videos but in Europe
Nice one, Tim. One thing, though, is that Dartmouth and Halifax aren't separate cities anymore. Dartmouth is officially a community in the Halifax Regional Municipality. It's cool seeing somebody else's video from the area :)
I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting me know. I've done a bit of research
There are a lot people who grew up in Dartmouth still think of Dartmouth as being a city rather then a suburb of Halifax, it's a small part of the whole passive agressive feud between Halifax and Dartmouth.
(Canada)
Dartmouth is way better then halifax, great highways
I thought this was a Cities Skylines video lmao
Hahaha same!!
(from Halifax tho lmao)
I want to move to Canada but the fact that i need to learn french (basics) is killing me, hate french language
Is it a requirement these days for new immigrants to be bi-lingual these days (French & English)? I only know English but I'm a natural born citizen and French isn't as common in the west.
Duncan Griffith Yes but if i want to live in Ottawa.. I cant even pronounce street names ;D
+PixelFox to be honest that's kinda offensive
If you wanna move to Canada and you hate the French language, well my friend, it's not the right country for you. Move somewhere else.
Freeway Franks I want to live in North America, but the US is too Savage for me.
