Montreal suburban mayors urge to change no right turn traffic rule
Montreal, Dec 22 (IBNS): In a recent meeting of mayors of 15 suburban areas of Montreal, it was urged upon the Transport minister of Quebec provincial government Laurent Lessard to lift a ban on right turn in red lights, reported The Epoch Times.
Montreal has been regularly following no right turn in red lights policy whereas rest of Quebec is allowed to do so since 2003.
Montreal and New York are believed to be the only two cities in North America where right turn on red is strictly prohibited, citing pedestrians' safety as the main reason for such prohibition.
