Traffic Volumes Primary Highway System 1999-2008 Traffic Volumes Primary Highway System 1999-2008 April 2009 Traffic Services Foreword This book contains the results of Traffic Counts conducted by the Traffic Engineering Division of the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal since 1999. All available count information from 1999 to 2008 is included for the following highways: 1. 100 Series, Trans-Canada, and Provincial Controlled Access Highways (i.e. Highway 101) 2. Numbered Trunk Highways (i.e. Trunk 1) 3. 200 and 300 Series Numbered Collector Highways (i.e. Route 201) Please direct any comments or enquires concerning this publication to: Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Traffic Engineering - Census Team P.O. Box 186 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2N2 Attention: Lester Hanley - Coordinator Traffic Census Telephone: (902) 424-7909 Fax: (902) 424-0571 E-mail: [email protected] Introduction An explanation of terms used in this book: 1. Types of counts (TYPE) T.C. = Count conducted by a Permanent or Portable Traffic Counter. T.M. = Intersection Turning Movement Count. V.C. = Vehicle Classification Count. S.A. = Signal Analysis L.T. = Left Turn Lane Analysis Note: Permanent counts are taken at a number of locations around the province; they are year long counts. Note: The difference in volumes between VC counts and TC counts is due to the fact that VC counts reflect actual number of vehicles while TC counts reflect only number of axles divided by 2. 2. Other Terms: Group (GRP) = The A.D.T. at a particular location will vary due to seasonal and other influences. Count locations are “grouped” according to their seasonal variation patterns; appropriate factors for estimating the AADT from a short count vary between groups. Group “AA” counts have the least seasonal variation; group “H” the greatest. % Trucks = Trucks as a percent of A.A.D.T., (Average Annual Daily Traffic). 85 % Speed = This is the speed at which 85 percent of the vehicles are traveling, or less. (Based on all vehicles; not free flow conditions) Priority Points = Intersection Signal Analysis - TAC Warrants A.D.T. = Average Daily Traffic. The average number of vehicles passing the count location in a 24 hour period based on a short temporary count. A.A.D.T. = Annual Average Daily Traffic. The average number of vehicles passing the count location in a 24 hour period, averaged on the basis of one year. AADT’s are determined in two ways: 1. From actual year long counts. 2. By estimation from a short count, using seasonal and group expansion factors. DIR = Direction of vehicle travel ( If the direction is not noted, the count is a two-way volume) Inter/s = Intersection Inter/c = Interchange Note: The Cabot Trail is referred to as Trunk 30 Northwest Arm Drive as Trunk 32 Bedford Bypass as Trunk 33 G T C 85 P. % D START LOCATION DESCRIPTION FOR COUNT R Y N % P.

  • The Best of the Maritime Provinces
    THE BEST OF THE MARITIME 1 PROVINCES lanning a trip to Atlantic Canada shouldn’t be hard, yet the number of small towns, quaint inns, and potential driving Proutes makes it a bit complex. These are my suggestions for some of the best destinations and experiences. THE best ACTIVE VACATIONS W Sea Kayaking in Nova Scotia: The twisting, convoluted coastline of this province is custom-made for snooping around by sea kayak. Outfit- ters are scattered around the province. For expedition kayaking, contact outfitter Coastal Adventures (www.coastaladventures.com) about a current schedule of trips. See chapter 4. W Biking the Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia): The long, strenuous loop around Cape Breton Highlands National Park is tough on the legs, but serious cyclists will come away with a head full of indelible memories. See “Cape Breton Island” in chapter 4. W Exploring Fundy National Park and Vicinity (New Brunswick): You’ll find swimming, hiking, and kayaking at this coastal national park. And don’t overlook biking in the hills east of the park, or the outdoors center at Cape Enrage. See “Fundy National Park” in chapter 5. W Cycling Prince Edward Island: This province sometimes seems like it was created specifically for bike touring. Villages are reasonably spaced apart, hills are virtually nonexistent, the coastal roads are picturesque in the extreme, and an island-wide bike path offers detours through marshes and quiet woodlands. See “The Great Outdoors” in chapter 6. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL THE best SPOTS FOR OBSERVING NATURE W Digby Neck (Nova Scotia): Choose from among the whale-watching outfitters located along this narrow peninsula of remote fishing villages.

ZooKeys 897: 49–66. https:// doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.897.46344 Abstract The Haliplidae, Gyrinidae, and Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada were surveyed during the years 2006–2007. A total of 2027 individuals from 85 species was collected from 94 different localities, which brings to 87 the number of species recorded for this locality. Among these, Heterosternuta allegheniana (Matta & Wolfe), H. wickhami (Zaitzev), Hydroporus appalachius Sherman, H. gossei Larson & Roughley, H. nigellus Mannerheim, H. puberulus LeConte, Ilybius picipes (Kirby), and I. wasastjernae (C.R. Sahlberg) are reported for the first time in Nova Scotia. The Nearctic component of the fauna is made up of 71 species (81.6%), the Holarctic component of 16 species (18.4%). Most species are characteristic of both the Boreal and Atlantic Maritime Ecozones and have a transcontinental distribution but 19 species (21.8%), which are generally recognized as species with eastern affinities.
