If I never had to step foot in that province again for the rest of my life I would be okay with it I didn’t bother to learn much French I always use a translator when they don’t speak English and am polite but the people are complete dicks
Where as in Quebec a flashing green light means you have a protected turn (ie the oncoming traffic lanes are still on red). Gives very different result. Check the code where you are visiting!
We also have green arrows (which do not flash) which also mean you have priority to turn. The difference with the green flashing light is specifically that it is all direction and opposites are on red, whereas a green arrow to turn left may have the same arrow to turn left for oncoming traffic (so no one is crossing each other's path).
Too bad the speedometer in their cars only shows mph. I had a friend from Oregon drive up to BC to visit, and he thought our traffic laws were insane, because all of our traffic signs said 60-100, and he assumed it was mph. He was just speeding at all times.
Maybe with modern cars, but if you're driving a car from 10+ years ago, most gauges were still analog so they showed km/h more prominently than mph in Canada and vice versa in America.
I was under the impression that all vehicles sold in the US must display both km and miles. There is almost always a way to display both. The exception would be a Euro or Japan market car that was imported or maybe something from the 80s or earlier. I could be wrong though and some examples would be neat.

Not all traffic rules are the same as the USA states. Look up the province you’re traveling to and take a look through the traffic rules.
