Traffic operations change – Intersection of Gottingen, Brunswick and Duke streets
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that effective Tuesday, Nov. 3, changes will be made to traffic operations at the intersection of Gottingen, Brunswick and Duke streets. The changes are being implemented as part of a series of targeted operational transportation upgrades being undertaken in collaboration with Link Nova Scotia.
Location: Intersection of Gottingen, Brunswick and Duke streets
Changes to traffic operations: Vehicles travelling southbound on Gottingen Street toward downtown Halifax will no longer be permitted to turn left onto Brunswick Street. New signage will be installed to indicate the turning restriction.
Removing this turning movement will simplify traffic operations through the intersection, improve traffic flow and reduce delays at this constrained downtown location. The change will also make crossing the street safer for people walking and rolling in this direction by removing potential conflicts with left-turning vehicles.
Drivers wishing to access Brunswick Street should follow posted signage and use alternate routes.
These upgrades focus on practical, cost-effective improvements that can be implemented more quickly than major infrastructure projects and are intended to improve traffic flow, reduce delays and improve travel time reliability along key corridors. By making better use of existing transportation infrastructure, these changes provide near-term transportation improvements while larger transportation investments continue to advance.
This initiative supports the Moving Better priority in the 2026–2030 Strategic Plan by improving the efficiency and reliability of the transportation network and optimizing existing infrastructure. It also aligns with the Integrated Mobility Plan and Link Nova Scotia’s Regional Transportation Plan by implementing operational improvements that enhance corridor performance, support transit movement and reduce congestion on key routes connecting to regional transportation infrastructure.

Traffic operations change – Intersection of North and Gottingen streets
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that effective Tuesday, Nov. 3, changes will be made to traffic operations at the intersection of North and Gottingen streets. The changes are being implemented as part of a series of targeted operational transportation upgrades being undertaken in collaboration with Link Nova Scotia.
Location: Intersection of North and Gottingen streets
Changes to traffic operations: Vehicles travelling eastbound on North Street toward the Macdonald Bridge will no longer be permitted to turn left onto Gottingen Street during the morning and afternoon peak periods. New signage will be installed to indicate when the restriction is in effect.
Restricting this turning movement during peak periods will help reduce congestion and delays at the intersection, while improving traffic flow for both general traffic and transit vehicles travelling along this key approach to the Macdonald Bridge corridor. The change will also make crossing the street safer for people walking and rolling during the busiest morning and afternoon travel times by removing potential conflicts with left-turning vehicles.
Drivers wishing to access Gottingen Street during the restricted periods should follow posted signage and use alternate routes.

Traffic operations change – Intersection of Oxford Street and Jubilee Road
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that effective Tuesday, Nov. 3, changes will be made to traffic operations at the intersection of Oxford Street and Jubilee Road. The changes are being implemented as part of a series of targeted operational transportation upgrades being undertaken in collaboration with Link Nova Scotia.
Location: Intersection of Oxford Street and Jubilee Road
Changes to traffic operations: Vehicles travelling eastbound and westbound on Jubilee Road will no longer be permitted to make left turns onto Oxford Street during the afternoon peak period. New signage will be installed to indicate when the restriction is in effect.
Restricting these turning movements during peak periods will improve the performance of the intersection by reducing delays caused by vehicles waiting to turn left from a shared travel lane. The change will also make crossing the street safer for people walking and rolling in these directions by removing potential conflicts with left-turning vehicles.
Drivers wishing to access Oxford Street during the restricted period should follow posted signage and use alternate routes.
