There are 3 lane stretches in Nova Scotia as follows:

________________________________

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

____________________________________
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

___________________________________
N ->

The north bound traffic can only enter the center lane when there is
no oncoming traffic while the southbound traffic can enter the center
lane at any point. I see this most on low traffic portions of our
super 2s.
