Halifax driving is crazy. There are so many outlying commuinites where people commute from that it creates bad traffic at rush hoursssssssssssss. The city was not planned to take in account this traffic.
Also, Halifax has these crazy lane changes that just pop up out of nowhere without any warning.
There is a high number of one way streets down by the waterfront so keep a look out for the signs.
There are spots along the streets to park so beware of people opening their door to step out of their car.
If you want to park your car, it is a good idea just to head to a pay lot if you are close to the waterfront. It is pretty hard to find parking. Many residents search for ages just to find a spot within a block or two of their home.
The good news about driving in Halifax is that other drivers are generally curtious. Leave a Comment

 That way; or that? But
certainly NOT that way!! by pieter_jan_v
Downtown most streets are ONE WAY, so be careful and check for the arrow signs! Leave a Comment

Actually, Halifax is a pretty safe city, standard night-time city rules apply, of course, but on the whole it is a good city. My 'warning' is actually about the drivers - they are incredibly polite. They will stop to let you jaywalk when you are still 3 metres away from actually reaching the curb. This can be unsettling at first, especially since I've lived in Montreal where it's you against the car, and only one will survive :) If you drive in Halifax, be forewarned that the pedestrians have come to expect this treatment, and will step out in front of your car without even looking, so be extra vigilant at all times.

The people in Nova Scotia drive very slowly, often well under the speed limit. Sometimes they will pull off the road to let you go by, this is normal. Pedestrians have the right of way (most cars stop if you look like you want to cross the road). So don't expect to get anywhere fast. BUT in Halifax at rush hour all bets are off and people drive like maniacs.
