In Canada, it is important to respect posted speed limits and be mindful of weather and traffic conditions. In Canada, drivers should stay on the right side of the road as they follow a right-hand traffic system. • Drive on the Right Traffic Signals and Signs When two vehicles stop simultaneously, the right-sided vehicle must yield the right. Pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way at intersections as well. Signs for construction, pedestrians, school zones, and wildlife crossings should be mindful while driving, and an understanding of traffic colors and their signals is needed.

When necessary, signal your intention to exit before entering traffic and when leaving. Entry is required to yield. A school bus with its flashing red lights and extended stop sign is a sign to stop.
