I haven't been driving much here this winter, but as a pedestrian I can relate one suprising thing: drivers STOP and let you cross any road or intersection without having to play chicken first. They're unbelievably courteous to pedestrians.
And I don't mean just at intersections. Turn to cross a street in the middle of the block, and most drivers would stop and wave you across.
Not that there is a lot of traffic - this is in a small town (2k people), but I seem to recall the same thing last time I was in Halifax about 10 years ago (300k people). East coast thing?
I'm going to have to be very careful when I move back to Ontario or I'm going to get run down by accident. I wonder if maritimers think drivers elsewhere are rude...
