All through traffic along A-20 and A-15 must navigate this tight loop ramp. Considering these are both long distance principal though routes both leading through the heart of Montreal, it is no wonder the MTQ has been so aggressive to finish the South Shore Bypass (A-30). |

This overhead signage is situated directly adjacent to the Boulevard Pelletier overpass. The signage explains the contraflow transit lane that exists during rush hours along the Champlain Bridge. During the afternoon peak, there are only two Montreal-bound general purpose lanes across the Champlain Bridge, as busses run towards the South Shore in the left-most lane. |

The Route 227 overpass. A lot of Quebec's overpasses are very unique, in this case having steel supports . I have to hand it to the engineers in La Belle Province for not always building boring concrete slabs supported by concrete pillars. |

The blue exit signage that appears along Autoroute 10 harkens back to the days of the tolled Eastern Township's Autoroute. These signs make me wonder if Ontario decided to sign Highway 407 with blue signs based on how Quebec signed its formerly tolled highways. |
