Halifax
Halifax Super AdminMaps of Halifax show two corridors: Highway 111 and Highway 102, with travel time index (TTI) data color-coded for each corridor.
Description for Maps 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3
The maps of Halifax each contain two corridors:
- Corridor 1 corresponds to highway 111 between highway 7 in the east and highway 2 in the west. Its approximate length is 3.5 kilometres.
- Corridor 2 corresponds to highway 102 between Kearney Lake Rd in the north and Lacewood Dr in the south. Its approximate length is 3 kilometres.
Each corridor is colour-coded to represent travel time index along its length. The dark purple colour represents a travel time index of 1.00 and the bright yellow colour represents a travel time index of 2.00 or greater. The aggregated corridor-level travel time index is shown in the table below.
Notes: The Travel Time Index (TTI) is the ratio of peak period travel time to free-flow travel time. For example, a TTI of 2.00 means a trip would take twice as long during peak period as the same trip in free-flow conditions. A TTI of 1.00 represents free-flowing traffic.

| Notes: The TTI is the ratio of peak period travel time to free-flow travel time. For example, a TTI of 2.00 means a trip would take twice as long during the peak period as the same trip in free-flow conditions. A TTI of 1.00 represents free-flowing traffic. "N", "S", “E” and “W” refer to the northbound, southbound, eastbound and westbound directions on the corridor (respectively), and "AM" and "PM" refer to the morning and afternoon peak periods (respectively). The morning peak period is defined from 6:00 AM to 9:59 AM, and the afternoon peak period is defined from 3:00 PM to 6:59 PM.
