Nice quiz!

My guess: Victoria bridge when boats are crossing through the seaway. Or maybe when the train is crossing. Or maybe when the boats are crossing the tracks, or some combination of boats, trains and automobiles.

I feel like I remember hearing once that Nun’s Island has a single set of traffic lights and they’re the only set where you can turn right on red. I might just be pulling that out of my ass though.

Ile Bizard, because right turns are only not allowed on montreal island. Its not on montreal island, but still part of montreal.

My guess is that it’s on one of those tiny islands around Montreal or on some federally owned area like bridges, airports or military bases. Perhaps federal legislation applies there? Just a guess and in that case, it would apply to more locations so my reasoning is flawed but what the heck…

That’s a green light, not a red. Quebec’s right-turn-on-red law (and, for that matter, similar laws elsewhere) specifically excludes situations where a right-turn green light is given.

Sorry I didn’t finish that off… You can turn on a red light legally off the Guy st exit only because there’s another arrow that turns green for all who are turning right.

Sadly a bit too wild. The Jacques-Cartier bridge doesn’t have traffic lights. And turning right onto René Lévesque from the Guy St. exit on a red light will get you a ticket if a cop is nearby.

Another wild guess of the Guy st exit off the 720.

Pont Jacques Cartier to get off on Ile-Ste-Helene? (Wild guess)
