What is the typical default speed limit on rural, open highways in Nova Scotia unless posted otherwise?

On rural, open highways in Nova Scotia, the default speed limit when no signs are posted is 80 km/h. This baseline applies unless a speed limit sign indicates a different number, so you should follow the posted limit you see. Always adjust for conditions—rain, snow, poor visibility, construction, or curves may require you to slow down below that default. The other numbers aren’t the standard default for these roads, so 80 km/h is the best fit for the typical case.
