Evangeline Trail (PDF 125 & 145)
EvaTrl
• East end: PDFs, most visibly the flipbook on page 45, show concurrent with NS1, at NS2.
• West end: For lack of a better option, I'll have it overlap NS1 to NS1's end.
STATUS: READY
Oaklawn Farm Zoo = indirect
NS1/2: reposition junction

Fleur-de-lis Trail (PDF 294)
FleTrl
• Port Hastings Rotary 1 2
• NS NS4 IndParkRd
• NS4/320 1 2 3
• NS104_E 1 2 3 4
• NS4/247 1 2 3 4 5
• PtMicRd: Is this a trick of perspective? Because this looks about right. 2009 imagery matches my expectations. Signage on Point Michaud Rd itself makes sense. Shapefiles list St Peters Fourchu Rd as Fleur-de-Lis Trail.
• Soldiers Cove Rd 1 2 (Use instead of LochLomRd?)
Two Rivers Wildlife Park = wrong side of river; wikipedia being liberal
• SPFRdExt 1 2 3
• GMGabRd 1 2
• NS327_S 1 2 3
• NS327_N 1 2 3 4
Mira River PP = indirect / Wikipedia being liberal
• "West" at these assemblies looks dubious. Not shown in either PDF. No "West" for NS22 North here.
• E terminus? Louisbourg?
Caveat: Signage seems to disappear after MainDieuRd_S / Marconi Trail. Where's the terminus?
Decision: For lack of a better option, I'll have it overlap NS22 to NS22's end.

FleTrlAri Arichat, 100% redundant with NS206 & NS320
• Scenic Diversion (Heh)
• NS206/320
STATUS: READY
NS320: Add RocBayRd
FleTrlCap Cap La Ronde "Scenic Diversion" (Grandchild Route)
• 12.0 shapefiles: Fleur-de-Lis Trail not listed on either Bona Rd or Pettipas Rd. It *is* listed on DEscousse-Cap La Ronde Road, from D'Escousse/Poirierville line, all the way east, to the dead-end. 1.) Dead end! 2.) How would it reconnect? Mauger Rd? That shit's unpaved! 3.) Shapefiles have been dubious elsewhere; I'm calling this dubious & non-canon too.
• Choosing Bona Rd over Pettipas Rd:
- Shown as the more major road on OSM & Bing (Google makes no distinction)
- Bona is the thru route at the Pettipas junction
- Satellite: Bona is paved; Pettipas is not

Glooscap Trail (PDF 145)
GloTrl, 100% redundant with trunks & collectors.
Wolfville terminus? EvaTrl overlap?
• BenJacCon: Signage for EvaTrl only
• WilSt: Signage for EvaTrl only
• BluRd: Signage for EvaTrl only
• NS101(8): Both. No arrows.
• NS101(7): Both trails
• NS14_W: Signage for EvaTrl only
• NS1: Signage for EvaTrl only
• NS215_W
• NS14_E
• NS236: Which way? Why not both?
• WalWooRd
• NS354
• NS236_W
• NS215_E 1 2
• NS104(12): Just the bloody smegging Ecotour
• NS4_W: bloody smegging Ecotour
• Great Village Lornevale Rd: NS2 only
• MainSt 1 2 3
• NS209: Both ways on NS2. No signage toward or on NS209. This too, NB.
• NS302_S: Provincial route signage only
• NS321: Provincial route signage only
• NS142
• NS302_N:
- Oh, bloody hell.
- What's covered up here? Glooscap Trail?
- NS302 shield only; no GloTrl
- This looks more sensible.
• NS104(4) 1 2 3 4 5
• NS204 in 2009: OK, this looks to not be a trick of perspective, but genuinely mounted facing the wrong direction. Hey man, at least it's something.
• NS6 plex in 2009: 1 2 3 leaving
• LaPSt in 2009
• NS104(1) TO, eh?
Goddam Cape Chignecto diversion (Ecotour?)
• The one lone Glooscap shield is at NS302_N (see above) and is likely a partially-fixed erroneous thing.
• Everything else is for Ecotour, and even that is sparse.
• 242 ENDS
• Incomplete signage to/from at NS209.
• Leaving this out.
Caveats:
1.) North end?
2.) South end?
Decisions:
1.) I'm choosing to view the sign removal in Amherst as significant, more than just the usual sloppy signage that can be seen in cities. Combined with the PDF not highlighting anything farther west than central Amherst, and the TO signage at TCH104, I'm gonna make the call that GloTrl ends at NS6/SunTrl.
2.) Wiki[citation needed]pedia says "The route connects Wolfville ... with Amherst ... at the interprovincial boundary with New Brunswick." But we know what I think of Wiki[citation needed]pedia. The flipbook PDF is no help here, as the Glooscap and Evangeline Trails are shown on the same page; there's no means of separating them out in the event of a concurrency. While there is signage at NS101(7) & NS101(8), that just seems like a senseless, Completely Goddam Random place to end the Glooscap Trail (on a useless multiplex, no less)... I just can't fathom it. If there's one thing that I've learned from GMSVing around putting this route set together, it's that sloppy signage ABOUNDS in Nova Scotia. This could be another example of such. The only other multiplex of Scenic Travelways is Fleur-de-Lis Trail / Bras d'Or Lakes Scenic Drive in St. Peter's, which at least makes sense considering where both routes have to go on either end of it. So HAY KNOW WAT? Signage where GloTrl joins NS1/EvaTrl -- at that point -- is in no way indicative of a GloTrl/EvaTrl overlap. Drivers trying to follow it to the end will see EvaTrl & not GloTrl, decide that's the end of it, and call it good. And maybe turn around. Yeah, that's it! So I'm going to make an Executive Decision and make the call as NS1/EvaTrl.

Lighthouse Route (PDF 82 & 125)
LigRte
East end
• E end: no signage @ or leaving Armdale Rotary, with 1st NS3 shield. Nothing at AlbWalDr.
• Left turn at NS3_Hal, but no right.
• Yellow highlight on PDF suggests route ends at NS3, and does not continue E to Armdale Rotary.
• NS103(17): 1 2 3
Diversion #1, NS103(17A), Mill River to NS3Liv & Brooklyn Shore Rd, Brooklyn
• NS103(17A): Left turn but no right.
• This seems to direct travelers from EB NS103 to turn left toward Mill Village. There's a lot of screwy signage in the area, incl. vestigial Trunk 3 signs to nowhere, and a dubious extension of NS331. Calling this dubious. Non-canon.
• No signage at NS3Liv EasShoRd. To be expected.
• Brooklyn Shore Rd, W of EasShoRd: clear consistent signage. Boom!
Diversion #2, NS3Loc & West Sable Rd, Sable River to NS3Loc & Little Harbour Rd, Allendale
• NS3_Sab: clear signage onto West Sable Rd from both directions, but signage coming off it points in the wrong direction. WTF?
• NS3_All: clear signage onto Little Harbour Rd from both directions, and this. No corresponding LigRte marker with NS3 East shield, which is good. No signage for traffic coming off Little Harbour Rd.
Wikipedia sez BriRd, and East Green Harbour Road
• No, yeah.
• Nothing going ahead on BriRd.
• Nothing @ NS3 / EastGHRd junction.
• Nothing @ BriRd & EastGHRd.
• Nothing in PDFs.
• Okay, like, whatever, NS Trans!
Diversion #3, NS103 & Jordan Branch Rd, Jordan Falls to NS3She, downtown Shelburne
• NS103_Jor: clear consistent signage for once.
• NS3She JorBraRd: Wait, this shouldn't be right... (Missing TO?)
• shield but no arrow approaching WatSt, EB
Diversion #4, NS3She & Shore Rd, Birchtown to NS309 & Shore Rd, Port Clyde
• Shore Rd, SW of HarPtRd: clear consistent signage
• NS309_N: no imagery
• CUT THE SHIT. (Missing TO? Last 2, especially...)
Toward the west end...
• NS330: This is all I found. (No straight ahead...)
• No signage at NS1
LigRteCla spur, 100% redundant with NS330?
• Other than the left turn onto NS330, linked above, I see no signage on this route.
• Check historic GMSV? There is none!
Caveats:
1.) Uncertain about NS3_She reconnection at Hammond St.
2.) NS330 spur Damn Thing.
Decisions:
1.) Calling NS3_She reconnection as Hammond St; seems the most sensible thing, in light of very poor signage.
2.) Leaving out NS330 spur as unsigned; writing off spotty signage as another case of same-direction continuing route on a multiplex not being signed.

Marconi Trail (PDF 294)
MarTrl
• "The Marconi Trail measures approximately 70 km in length along Route 255." WOT?
• Poor signage at N end. Last I could find is at Dominion St. Calling the north end NS4/28 as the PDF suggests, rather than the Historic Site as claimed by Wikipedia.
• Donkin Highway 1A 1B 2
• Long Beach Rd
• No signage at NS22/255 jct. To be expected.
• Continues south from NS255 MiraBayDr
• Going by signage, S terminus is at NS22 / FleTrl.
