Transportation and Public Works
Traffic
The borough has implemented a set of measures to ensure the safety of
drivers and pedestrians and to improve the flow of traffic.
The four roundabouts on L'Île-des-Soeurs neighbourhood offer
a number of benefits:
- Better traffic flow.
- Fewer accidents.
- Central island landscaping more consistent with the environment.
- Ability to safely perform U-turns.
Observe signs, yield to pedestrians and drive safely.

Pedestrian crossings
Where a pedestrian enters a pedestrian crosswalk, the driver of a road
vehicle or any person riding a bicycle must stop his vehicle to allow the
pedestrian to cross the roadway. (Section 410 of Québec's Highway Safety
Code).
Speed humps and speed bumps
Speed humps and their slightly higher counterparts, speed bumps, are
installed on certain streets and alleys to ensure that vehicles stay within the
speed limit.
