Wentworth Road Roundabout Nears Completion

The $2.1-million Wentworth Road Roundabout is still under construction, but open to traffic. When completed, it will provide safe access between Exit 5A on Highway 101 and a busy commercial area in Windsor.

Modern roundabouts are intersections with traffic circulating around a central island. Drivers in roundabouts yield when entering and travel in a counter-clockwise direction.

Roundabouts have a proven track record around the world for reducing the number and severity of collisions, and for keeping traffic moving smoothly. An information sheet and diagram of the Wentworth Road Roundabout, describing the rules for roundabouts in Nova Scotia, is available at www.gov.ns.ca/tran/roundabout/wentworthroad.pdf .
