How low it gets here
Of the 12,452 restrictions in Nova Scotia, 12 are under 2.5 m, 9 sit between 2.5 and 3.2 m — the band where a typical motorhome has to stop — 14 between 3.2 and 4.0 m, and 12,408 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 4.10 m.
What the numbers leave out
9 of them state no height at all. That is not a clear road: somebody recorded a limit without a number. Treat those as obstacles of unknown height. Where nothing is signed, the general limit in Canada applies — 4.15 m.
Questions
How many low bridges are there in Nova Scotia?
12,452 height restrictions of every kind are recorded in Nova Scotia: 12 under 2.5 m and 9 between 2.5 and 3.2 m, the range that stops an ordinary motorhome.
What is the lowest bridge in Nova Scotia?

How current is this data?
It is rebuilt every week from OpenStreetMap; these figures were measured on September 18, 2026. A restriction nobody has mapped is not here, so above 3 m plan the route before you set off.
