What’s it like driving in the highways at night? (Seeking travel advice)

Hi friends,

I’m coming to NS in May and arriving into Halifax around 9pm. I’m heading to Ingonish the next day so I have a big drive ahead.

I was thinking to drive to Truro or New Glasgow the night I arrive to save time the next day, but I’m a little nervous of what highways will be like when it’s dark. Specifically the 102 and Trans Canada.

I’m an experienced driver but from what I understand, highways in NS can get super dark.

Could I please get some advice on whether I should just stay by the airport, or brave it on the roads?

I’d really appreciate if anyone could offer me some help. Thank you in advance ❤️🥰
