On the Island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada you can’t turn right on a red light. As well, you can’t turn left or right with a green arrow at the intersection. You must wait for a full green round traffic light before proceeding with your right or left turns. At the end of your traffic light cycle-at some intersections-the green light will flash. This flashing green light gives priority to left turning traffic. In my professional opinion, the timing of these traffic light protects vulnerable road users and provides enhanced safety when moving through intersections.
Good luck on your road test.

PRO TIP: Don't drive in Downtown Montreal EVER! There are worse places like Greater Toronto, but MTL on the weekends is the worst

[@EpicThe112]

0:31-2:14 same rule as NYC and the Five Boroughs which is your Video with Sam. That causes confusion with drivers from Ontario New Brunswick Canadian provinces Neighbouring American States Upstate NY Vermont New Hampshire and Maine since the normal procedure is that right on red is allowed unless a sign is posted to prohibit that. I can see Quebec going NYC Vision Zero. Excellent video rick

[@PetitNicolas1997]

Thank you very much for the video, I'm going to move to Montreal in a next few days and this is super helpful! Thanks again

You’re most welcome my friend. Good luck with the move. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@JacquesPPage]

A green circle signals an obligation, not a permission. If a right pointing arrow is circled in green, it means you must turn right. If a right and straight pointing arrows are in a green circle, you must either go straight or turn right.

If you're staying in the city, park your car and use public transport IMHO.

[@NahidTube]

@@Alternity666 that's exactly what I did. I stayed there for 3 days and parked the car in an indoor garage. The trip was so much more enjoyable because I did not have to worry about parking everywhere I go

[@443DM]

Thank you! Had my nav tell me to take a left, and the sign said I could, but someone behind me blared on their horn for waiting for the arrow to change to a full green. I guess I was right!

[@bewareofthesandman]

Thanks Rick for the video. I would recommend anyone choosing to visit a large city with smaller streets and with as many pedestrians and cyclists to avoid renting a pickup, SUV or crossover. You'll have a better time finding parking, you can brake better and your driving will be safer. A collision with a heavier vehicle is much more likely to cause injury or death to those outside the vehicle. A jeep is a bad choice.

[@ryanzedd3482]

I have been wondering for a long time. What is the reason behind certain signals in Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces such as parts of New Brunswick, and PEI. Where the signal has a red light on both sides, as appose to just one red light. I've seen dual reds in Alberta and Saskatchewan but usually those are there for the reason to instate that they are a turning signal, not a multi straight/turning signal. Excluding some other reasons they might use at certain locations around those two provinces, in Quebec and east, I never understood the twin red reasons.

[@traffic.engineer]

If there is no red light when there is a green straight arrow, and there are no signs stating turns are not allowed, then what legally prohibits making a turn on a straight green arrow?

[@daljotsingh4918]

Can you turn right on a straight through arrow?

[@smartdrivetest]

Are you in Montreal? Send me the address of the intersection that you're thinking of my friend. Cheers Rick

[@cityboyis2]

When i visited Montreal i noticed that many drivers proceeded through intersections regardless if the light was green or red, it didn't matter lol. As for the no right turn on red that is just plain dumb and over restrictive.

[@BaconSlayer69]

Welcome to Quebec the most restrictive province of Canada

[@rawsonreich]

I always scan intersections before proceeding to a green light, and a yellow light means slow down be prepared to stop before the intersection if it’s safe to do so, and a red light means stop. And driving at night is a challenge because our vision is reduced and I watch the traffic light and the yellow lights at night does blend in with street lights in cities. Great video man 👍🏼
