The 100-series highways in Nova Scotia are meant to be freeways with speed limits of 100km/h or above. However most can range from divided freeways to 2-lane freeways to trunks with speed limits ranging anywhere from 50km/h to 110km/h.
One last disclaimer Hwy 111 (Circumferential Highway in Dartmouth) does not appear here due to a lack of information for thru traffic for this highway. Most of the information in the book for this particular highway are for ramps, with the only thru traffic counts being for two 4-lane sections between the MicMac Parclo and Rte207, and between Gaston Rd and Pleasant St.
ADT
ADT is not the best measure of how busy a highway is because of differing seasonal variations, but it can show how busy a highway can get during peak season. It would, however, be wasteful to design to the ADT levels.
I didn't make any tables for this one, so just maps.
Here's the legend:
White = 0 to 5,000
Grey = 5,001 to 10,000
Blue = 10,001 to 15,000
Green = 15,001 to 20,000
Yellow = 20,001 to 25,000
Orange = 25,001 to 30,000
Red = 30,001 to 35,000
Purple = 35,001 to 40,000
Brown = 40,001 to 50,000
Black = 50,001+
Trans Canada Highway
Busiest Section - Hwy 104 between Exits 24 and 25, New Glasgow (23,986)
I meant to do an NS-100 series overall map, but it kept messing up on me.
Cape Breton 100-series
Busiest Section - Hwy 125 between Exits 7 and 8, Sydney (29,772)
Nova Scotia Divided
Busiest Section - Hwy 102 between Exits 1 and 1A, Halifax (56,515)
Nova Scotia - Undivided and sub-standard
*By substandard I mean sections that are either urban boulevards (Hwy 104 through Antigonish) or 4-lane trunks (Highway 107 near Preston).

Halifax Area Divided
There are two sections of Hwy 107 that show up here that shouldn't. One is a suburban Blvd exiting Burnside Industrial Park, and the other is a 4-lane trunk. I made this map before checking it out in Streetview, but couldn't edit this one. I'm pretty sure I could edit the others, and they're the more important ones anyway.
