- You can NOT rely on Maps to provide correct information regarding routing etc. This data is often wrong, especially for Nova Scotia which isn't important enough for the mapping firms to take the effort to create maps with totally accurate information. Hell, I've seen maps showing Magazine Hill as part of Highway 101, which it certainly is not.

- The MacKay bridge is NOT *officially* part of Highway 111, as it's owned by the Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission, and not the Department of Transportation, and is not signed with Highway 111 route markers, but UNofficially it can be considered part of the 111 and for all intents and purposes it is... but we may as well do the article based on FACTS, and not what we personally think it should be. Hopefully the new update to the page will clarify the routing :)

- Also updated info on the connection between 111 and 102 to be more clear.

- You also can't rely on someone at NS-DOT to causually tell you information, as they're often wrong themselves. The person responding to the e-mail isn't going to go anbd look up record and original plans etc etc... they're going to give info off the top of your head, and they're human just like anyone else and are often wrong. Just look at the horrible signage in NS to see how incompetent they are. ugh.. what a mess our highway system is in.

where is this road 12 lanes? mylesmalley 03:05, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

It's 12 lanes for about 40 metres. Near the old Micmac rotary site. Ouuplas 16:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Added corrected exits and extended to include Mackay Bridge which officially part of Highway 111

The 111 does extent into Halifax the route directional signs indicate it at the intersection of Bayers Road and Connaught Ave . --Vic 22:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Those are "TO 111" signs (only sometimes without the "TO"). It's not officially part of the route. Kirjtc2 22:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It part of the route --Vic 23:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Not according to the Service Nova Scotia atlas, the official NS Tourism map, MapArt and Rand McNally. One straggling sign (and again, Nova Scotia's known to sign routes off their official routing like that) means nothing. Kirjtc2 23:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I wrote to the Dept. of Transportation and they say its true that Highway 111 goes into Halifax --Vic 04:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd love to see the actual e-mail. Every GOVERNMENT source I have seen proves you wrong. Kirjtc2 11:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I just was on Connaught Ave and there is signs indicating its part of the 111 just what like the article said --Pat 20:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Stop deleting Halifax Portion it DOES run through Halifax to Bayers Road

Again, one sign on Connaught Avenue proves nothing. Those signs are there to help people get to the 111, not because it's part of the highway. And if you believe otherwise, I still want to see that letter you supposedly got from the DOT, because all my government info says just the opposite. There are 101 and 103 signs on Bayers Road too, does that mean it's part of those routes too? Kirjtc2 20:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC) There are atleast 5 signs and Connaught Avenue is a provincial road as well

I would add something like this: "Although official government sources and various maps show the highway ending at XXX, route signs indicate that a portion of Highway 111 extends through the former city of Halifax . At the base of the A. Murray MacKay Bridge the route continues on through Windsor Street down Connaught Ave. to Bayers Road where it connects to Nova Scotia Highway 102." --Usgnus 21:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Usgnus good suggestion --Pat 22:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC) To User:Dezzo stpp edit pages like this UNLESS you can VERIFY--Vic 17:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Uhh...the onus is on you to verify what you have, despite being proven wrong time and time again. Kirjtc2 21:31, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Kirjtc2 you do not even live here so do not tell us whos wrong because you do not know what your talking about--Pat 22:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Then why did Dezzo, who DOES live in the area, make the exact same edits? You are plain and simply trolling. You're lucky I haven't called for admin action yet. Kirjtc2 00:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
