How to recognise Canada from the road
Drives on the right
Canada can look a lot like its southern neighbour. Units and language are what separate them.
What to look for
1
Kilometres
Distances are in kilometres and speed limits in km/h, unlike the United States.
2
French on the signs
Signs are often bilingual. In Quebec they are in French, and stop signs read ARRÊT.
3
Yellow centre lines
As across North America, a yellow line separates opposing traffic.
4
Boreal forest
Away from the cities, spruce, pine and birch forest stretches for hundreds of kilometres.
