road is creatively called the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Rd.

at the intersection at the end of a small park on your right), which

left at that first intersection, go for it and skip to Step 3 below.

to the first intersection where you can turn left and do so. Continue
turning left (basically reversing your direction) rather than
crossing the oncoming traffic and going up Circuit Avenue. Go back towards
the water and turn right when road ends.

to the "Triangle" intersection with the Edgartown-Vineyard
Haven Rd. (there is no stop sign coming from the direction of Oak Bluffs),
