Halifax driving tips
Stay safe and be prepared for anything! It’s important to come equipped with some knowledge about what you can expect on the roads in and around Halifax. We have put together a few tips to get you started.
- Always drive on the right-hand side of the road, with oncoming traffic passing to your left. If you are arriving in Canada from a country in which you drive on the left, we suggest taking some time to adjust before setting out properly on your RV road trip.
- Distances are listed in kilometres, and speeds in kilometres per hour.
- Most urban roads in Halifax are set at the default speed of 50 kilometres per hour. Open roads and highways generally have limits of 80-100 kph, with a maximum of 110kph.
- Not just in the capital of Nova Scotia, but the entire province has a blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers of 0.08%. We recommend abstaining from drinking alcohol altogether before driving.
- In urban areas, always be aware of the size of your vehicle. Check the maximum height signs when entering parking garages.
- Driving in Nova Scotia can be trickier during the winter months. Stay off the roads during a storm, and always watch out for adverse road conditions such as black ice. Winter tires are not required by law, but some motorhome hire Halifax providers may offer these.
- On remote roads, look out for wildlife.
- The RV camping season in Canada is short, so please note that campsite availability may be limited. A few recommended motorhome parks and campgrounds in or near Halifax include Woodhaven RV Park, Halifax West KOA and Shubie Park Campground. Many camping grounds are closed in the colder months. Book ahead where possible.
