Highway 16 has surprisingly little on it. It does, however, have a posted 100km/h speed limit. In Ontario, where I am from, you would never see a two-lane undivided highway with a 100km/h limit -- you would however see drivers traveling near that speed.

View looking south approaching the roundabout. This roundabout is huge, and is probably surprisingly old. Modern roundabouts are a lot smaller in diameter than this traffic circle to reduce vehicle speed within the circular roadway.

Midspan on the Confederation bridge. Unfortunately no signs are present on the bridge to advise traffic exactly where the New Brunswick / Prince Edward Island boundary is.
