What do those signs say?


"Arrêt" does not mean "Turn yourself in at the nearest Police Box." Although the word "stop" is routinely used in Quebec French as the word to halt, those hexagonal red signs no longer contain it. But don't worry—nobody stops anyway! They might as well be in Lithuanian.

TRAFFIC

Arrêt - Stop
Autoroute - Expressway
Centre-ville - Downtown
Est - East
Droite - Right
Gauche - Left
Ouest - West
Pont - Bridge
Sens unique - One way
Stationnement interdit - No parking
Virage - Turn
Vitesse - Speed

Important: No right turns are permitted on red. (And a darn good thing, too.)
