 Montreal suburbs opt to 'STOP' rather than 'ARRET' at intersections MONTREAL - The aggressive Montreal driver is rarely shackled by rules of the road, but some French-language purists are worried that the stop signs people blow through increasingly read "STOP" instead of "ARRET."Commentsview comments in forum Page 1 You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

Anyone who has traveled around the globe will understand my confusion with it.
In Iceland, Spain, Portugal, France!, Germany, Italy, Malta, Norway, Belgium and Holland the signs all say STOP.
Even in Bahrain and the UAE they say STOP with the Arabic added in, since it is two completely different alphabets. That I understand.
I never got the whole ARRET thing.

Would you give up your navy ranks, navy mannerisms, and navy attitude and adopt an army one because they are more common or handy?

In other words, you have no fucking clue why they use ARRET either.
Good to know.

No, I know. Its a pride thing and that often overrides other considerations. We would do the same thing for Canadiana. Despite the US usage of miles we don't display speedlimits in MPH just for them.
The stop symbol is universal and shouldn't actually need the writing anyway.
I was making a point with the navy thing though and didn't mean offence by it.
I think we know the red sign means stop... arret... or put the fucking breaks on....
I think that last one should be the one put on sign, more people would get the message!
frankly if you dont reconize the bright red octogone then you should not be driving regardless of what country you are in
+1. A stop sign is a stop sign. I love how they blame Quebec's poor driving habits on the language of the sign. Road signs are meant to big big, visible, and unique so you know what it says at a glance without having to read it.
"It doesn't really matter what you put up, I mean you could end up with pictograms of a truck smashing into a wall."
I support this idea completely. lol
