Quebec highways

Quebec has a particular but very comprehensive road network.

Quebec Highways signs have two (2) numbers listed according to their general orientation. Therefore, Odd numbers mark a highways oriented North-South while Even numbers mark a East-West highway.

Hitch-hiking on Quebec expressways is de facto illegal, but tolerated in certain areas, mainly rural. It is recommended to not hitch along the expressways in Montreal Metropolitan Area including the A-40 (A-440), A-13, A-15. Neither on the motorway junctions in Trois-Rivières or Quebec city (A-40, A,640)/(A-20) as these are places are pretty dangerous and will less likely be tolerated.

In Quebec the Trans-Canada Highway does not have a full status as reflected in any other Canadian provinces, it is although still existing through parts of the A-40 around Montreal and most of the A-20 throughout the province. The A-85 (Route 185) complete the infrastructure with New Brunswick.
