Yep, Montreal to be exact, I've got a bunch of pictures (just from today so far) that I'll be going through and uploading, the biggest difference is the traffic signals! I'll be here until Tuesday.
Yep Quebec's traffic signals are quite different from Ontario's they even have different shaped lenses for each colour and dual red lights.
Downtown Montreal seems to be the exception though...the traffic signals on Ste-Catherine street are standard 12-12-12 lights IIRC.
I don't have a lot of Quebec pictures though and the ones I have are all at least three years old...If you can see if you can get a better pic of these too.
Yep, many older traffic lights have square-shaped red, round green and diamond-shaped yellow lenses. Although it seems newer traffic lights all have round lenses.
I think so, Vince could tell you for sure. The only French I know is from the Government mandated French classes I (and everyone else in Ontario) had to take (grades 4-9) and from the similarities between French and English.
@A-Lights Uh - yeah
It basically tells the expressway ends just after that sign. I don't know why the heck they added flashing lights though LOL.
It is common in Montreal to see highways and expressways getting smaller and going directly into the downtown without any intersections. They place those signs to make sure people slow down from 100 to 50km/H XD
Such configurations are uncommon outside Montreal (and Quebec city at some extent). Highways and smaller streets are usually separate roads with intersections linking them.
They sometimes add a "Prepare to stop" sign with flashing lights a couple hundreds meters away from traffic lights when the latter are on a highway. The lights are on when the red traffic lights are lit. I know such a configuration about 30km from me.
