What is it with drivers ignoring school zone crosswalks in montreal?


Travel Info
Do they need to hit someone to realize what the crosswalk is for

Travel Tips
Sad, but true.

I drive 80km a day back and forth to work, and I am by no means innocent...my foot gets a bit heavy on the gas pedal and am almost always 10-20km over the limit, mainly on the highway. But I always try to be careful around parks, school zones, and pretty much obey all the other rules of the road.

However, I see drivers in Quebec not only ignoring school crosswalks but running red lights (not just turning yellow to red, but actually red for a second or two already!), doing rolling stops, and exiting the highway by flying across from the passing lanes through three lanes of traffic.

I was recently in New York City and I can tell you, I think we Quebecers can give some of those NYC cabbies a run for their money.

not just mtl. happens all over..
I understand your concern,while I lived in Montreal I found them to be very reckless..now in Toronto it is somewhat better.
GET USED TO IT...there is nothing that will change montrealers driving attitudes...hell i didnt even know what those lines on the floor were for!
Pedestrians should just stay out of the way.
Welcome to life.
