The little graphic showing how the racers are doing with their targets. The close up of the actual targets with little pellet marks in it. The roar of the crowd when they get all 5. The slow mo of the empty shell casing flying through the air as they reload. Plus: penalty laps!

Sometimes the traffic map is a bit sensitive - and shows collisions when it's just slow

However, we had multiple calls about a train blocking folks on Akerely BLVD this am. I'm pretty sure that's what this is.

(and when you include that collision on Windmill) maybe work from home today #HFXtraffic

oh dear...wish I'd seen this earlier.

I just said it was backed up to the 102 on the Bedford Bypass.

Hopefully folks get the idea

It's backed up to Sackville.

There's a collision in Westphal at Main Street and Ross Road

It's looking slow in ALL directions there.

A listener called to say vehicles on Ross Road are currently blocked from getting onto Main Street - so they're turning around and heading for Cole Hbr Road instead #HFXTraffic

There's a collision at Windmill and Wright Ave in Burnside

Back-ups there are stretching ALL the way up the Magazine Hill.

I'd take the 107 to Burnside Drive to avoid that #HFXTraffic

There's going to be a mock-emergency exercise at Cobequid Community Health this morning

"This planned drill is ... designed to help teams practice and strengthen their response to a Code Silver situation (an incident involving a weapon or potential threat). There is no risk to the public."

There's a fire at the Halifax Armoury.

Some streets in the area are blocked off...

Halifax Police are asking folks to avoid the area #HFXTraffic

Can confirm I've been stuck on a bus on Alderney for 15+ minutes trying to reach the bridge terminal!

Collisions on BOTH sides of the Macdonald...

One was near the HFX-Side, and that was earlier.

But NOW - another collision at the former tolls of the Macdonald. Expect big extended delays #HFXTraffic

Home - Halifax Harbour Bridges Halifax’s two iconic suspension bridges, the Angus L. Macdonald and A. Murray MacKay, are two of the most important pieces of traffic infrastructure in the region. %

there are bridge cams (if you scroll down) but yes, I'd like them to be better placed

Is THIS a bad spot for a collision?

Looks like a collision smack-dab in the intersection of Robie, Quinpool, Bell Road, and Cogswell.

Avoid (if possible) #HFXTraffic

the Traffic Map is showing a collision on the Macdonald Bridge, HFX-Bound, near the HFX-Side.

It would be nice to get confirmation on this collision - but you can probably feel good about taking the MacKay to HFX right now instead #HFXTraffic

A listener reports a collision on the Beaverbank Road (connector) on the ramp that merges with HWY 101.

Expect delays if you're trying to get onto the 101 at exit 2... #HFXTraffic
