[Ep.8] Freeway Drive : Saint John, NB Route 1 (Saint John Throughway) 

Thanks, it's a nice drive. The highway is well maintained. As for the population thing, that was in 1851. The U.S. colonies were no longer under British control. So St. John was the largest city in Canada and the rest of North America not including the colonies and anywhere not under British control. Not sure how long the city held that status though.

Ah, sorry I was confused lol. Before the American colonies became the US, "British North America" referred to the whole continent. I guess I wasn't paying attention to dates, my bad :P

Cities in the Maritimes are tiny for the most part. The largest city in NB has about 140,000 people.

Wow. That's a cool fact. I always thought the cities up there were a good size.

Saint John in particular is built like a much bigger city due to it having once been the third largest city in Canada. It also seem smaller due to the way the highway passes through land that can't be developed due to terrain and the fact that this video doesn't include the large suburbs of Rothesay and Quispamsis.

we use the metric system.

Brenden Schneider Thats what i thought

+PixelFox pretty such every other country on earth use the metric system except for the United States, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Somalia and Indonesia. These countries use the old imperial system,

+Brenden Anderson Indonesia use metric system, not imperial. I know that because i live there.

I believe Burma, United States and Liberia are the only non metric countries, though the UK still uses imperial measurements on roadways.

Yeah, until you get to Winnipeg... where there are no freeways, and our beltway has railway crossings.

In Moncton the CN line crosses the Trans-Canada twice

Merci! Je pense que c'est ma meilleur production a date! :)

Yes, I'm using a RAM mount outside on my windshield. Never have any dirty windshield or glare issues. I haven't even had a bug splatter while filming yet :)

+Freeway Tim I often get the bug splatter issue with the outdoor camera. I've ruined a few recording sessions due to it unfortunately, but you're right, the trade off of having a nice glare free windshield free shot makes the risk worth it. I can tell you must be doing a similar thing as myself as your camera angle looks similar; nicely centered up high in the middle of the windshield, lens looking perfectly straight forward.

Love the song btw

In NB most highways are limited to 110km/h. But around cities it varies from 70 to 100km/h. You're right though you can "safely" go 130+ on most roads.

+Freeway Tim Aww I see I see.
