Roundabouts in Nova Scotia are navigated by circulating counterclockwise around the central island. You enter when there is a safe gap, yield to vehicles already in the circle, and continue around in that counterclockwise direction until you reach your intended exit, signaling as you prepare to leave. This direction is fixed for right-hand traffic, so choosing clockwise would go against how the roundabout operates. The option that mentions lanes doesn’t change the turning direction—the motion around the circle remains counterclockwise. The simplest, correct approach is to drive around the circle counterclockwise until you exit.
