Highway 50, an east-west route in the greater Montreal area, will now be known as Autoroute Guy-Lafleur.

13 people died on the road and trail during the 2022 construction vacation, one more than during the same period last year, according to Quebec police, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).

Police will be paying closer attention to the roads over the next two weekends. The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) says its officers will be out on roads and highways to catch travellers who are speeding or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Quebec police force says speed and impaired driving "remain the main causes of fatal collisions" in the province. Last year, authorities recorded nine fatal crashes during the Saint-Jean and Canada Day weekends.

Almost half of us cruise down the road while glued to our smartphones, a new survey has found. According to a report by Ratesdotca, 43% of Canadians admit to using their phones behind the wheel while 83% engage in distracted driving behaviour of one kind or another.
