I've never had the pleasure of visiting Halifax in my adult life, but I'm well aware of the reputation there and throughout much of the Maritimes for yielding to pedestrians anywhere and at any time. I finally had a chance to experience this first hand last year, though shockingly, it was completely across the country in British Columbia. Everywhere we went, from the smallest hamlets to the heart of Vancouver, people would go out of their way to stop and let you cross. Everywhere. Every time. Every driver. I've traveled quite a bit over the years and always been happy to come home to Hamilton after a nice trip, but it was hard to come back after that one. The difference in interactions between people in cars and on foot (and on bike too of course) was hard to swallow.
