We all know there are some dumb laws out there...
This site is full of them, it's hilarious! lol
Here are a couple of exemple from Québec:
| quote: | | It is considered an offense to have more than two colors of paint on your house. (Beaconsfield ) |
| quote: | | Margarine producers can't make their margarine yellow |

| quote: | | The Queen Elizabeth Hotel must feed your horse freely when you rent a room. |
| quote: | | You may not park a car in such a way that it is blocking your own driveway |
*so block your neibourgs!
| quote: | | The Queen Elizabeth Hotel must feed your horse freely when you rent a room. |
*Oviously from 1950, but still...:tongue2
And finally a law that definitly makes canadian travelers mad :
| quote: | It is illegal to turn right on a red light at any time.
|

well... Montreal is a city where's lots of people who walks in the streets and at all hours of the day. Jaywalkers, cyclists and pedestrians (because of narrow old streets) are what makes downtown montreal different from downtown toronto. Turning on red is hazardeous for them. Also, on long term, (i know it sounds stupid) people would get affraid of walking on those same streets because drivers turning on reds, transforming slowly this city like other bland cities like Toronto.
Resume: Red light, stop, take a breathe, watch the scenery and beautiful women ;) |

| Well u guys obviously don't drive cars. First of all it really sucks waiting at a light when you should be able to go. And b) why the fug are all you montrealers j - walking yet not watching (ie if you're afraid of getting hit by cars), I mean I j-walk all the time, I just give right of way to large pieces of metal when they are in the right |

| no i think the pedestrians should have more rights than metal stuff |
