What the Law Says About
Failing to obey a red traffic light Violations

Unless otherwise directed by a sign or signal, when facing a red light, the driver of a road vehicle or a cyclist must stop his vehicle before the pedestrian crosswalk or stop-line or, if none, before the near side of the roadway he is about to cross, and may proceed only when a signal shows he may do so.

Under Quebec traffic law, when facing a red light, drivers and cyclists must come to a full stop before the pedestrian crosswalk or stop line — and proceed only when the signal turns green.

For cyclists, specific rules apply: they may proceed after stopping at a pedestrian light, ensuring pedestrian safety and yielding priority.

Fine:

$100 to $200

Demerit Points:
