Montréal never banned right on red.
No right on red was the default, then most of Canada enabled right on red in the 1970, but Québec did not. Québec later enabled right on red by default in 2003, but Montréal (island) retained no right on red.
And RToR is bad everywhere. We'veknow it for a long time, but have jsut collectivelydecoded the cost was worth it. Here's an article from Victoira in 1981 talking about it https://www.newspapers.com/clip/107821508/times-colonist-victoria-may-5-1981/
Thank you, I learn something new everyday 🚦
I stand by one of the greatest difficulties for everyone on/around the road in Montreal is that they don’t consistently follow traffic conventions accepted across the rest of the country (almost continent). Makes decisions less confident, less predictable and less safe across the board. I love their unique take in most other areas.
Valid opinion, I'd be interested to see if there is some data to confirm or deny it. It's different than my experiences, but I did live and drive there, so obviously it comes with a bias.
Incorrect. Montréal has a low collision frequency and low serious injury and fatal collision rate compared to most the country/contient.
