Driving in Canada is similar to driving in many parts of the United States. Distances and speeds, however, are posted in kilometres per hour and some signs, particularly in Quebec, may only be in French.

Unless otherwise posted, the maximum(最大限度的) speed limit in Canada is 50km/hr in cities and 80km/hr on highways. On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr. It is not allowed to take automobile radar detectors(汽车雷达检测器) into Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and the Yukon. Seat belt use is required by law for all passengers, and child car seats must be used by children under 40 pounds. Some provinces require drivers to keep their vehicles’ headlights on during the day and some have banned(禁止) driving while using a hand-held cell phone. Motorcycles cannot share a lane(车道), and safety helmets for motorcycle riders and passengers are necessary. Running a red light is a serious crime throughout Canada and drivers are advised to stop before starting when a light turns green.

Winter travel can be dangerous due to heavy snowfalls and icy conditions. Some roads and bridges are often closed in winter. Snow tires are required in some provinces.Travelers should also be careful about animals while driving at night in rural areas.

Highway 401, from Detroit to Montreal, is one of the busiest highways in North America. It has been the scene of many deadly traffic accidents due to sudden and severe weather changes, high rates of speed, and heavy truck traffic. Thus drivers should be alert while travelling here.

New Subway Regulations

Shanghai on Tuesday put into effect a New Subway Regulations that bans subway riders from using speakers on their digital devices including mobile phones.

The Shanghai Metro Passenger Code has increased the number of rules that prohibited passenger behaviors from 14 to 17 as following:

The European Union (EU) has announced a broad new transport plan which aims to cut back on carbon emissions over the next three decades. The European Commission presented its “Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy" on Wednesday. According to the Commission, its strategy focuses on making Europe’s transport system “sustainable, smart and resilient".

By 2030, aims for the strategy include: at least 30 million zero-emission cars on the road, “market-ready" zero-emission marine vessels, and the large-scale application of automated mobility. Other targets for the next decade include the development of more cycling infrastructure. And by 2035, it wants “zero-emission large aircraft" to be market-ready. Further ahead, the Commission says “nearly all cars, vans, buses as well as new heavy-duty vehicles will be zero-emission” by the middle of this century.

“By carrying out this strategy, we’ll create a more efficient and resilient transport system, which is on a firm pathway to slash emissions in line with our European Green Deal goals,^” said Adina Valean, the commissioner for transport. The European Green Deal refers to the European Commission’s plan for the European Union to be climate neutral by 2050.

While authorities in Europe were eager to play up the strategy and emphasize the potential effects of its goals, some environmental organizations offered a different viewpoint. In a statement reacting to the plans, the European Unit of Greenpeace said the Commission’s proposal didn’t “suggest setting a reduction target for air travel, nor the number of privately owned cars".

"While it does suggest that ‘collective travel’ (e.g. via air, rail and bus) under 500 km in the

Elsewhere, the European Cyclists' Federation, Cycling Industries Europe and Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry gave what they described as a “careful welcome” to the strategy’s "positive statements about cycling^". They stated that “a lot more work" was required to “identify how more ambitious change can be built into the Commission’s action plans”. The associations then went on to express their regret that the strategy had “not yet set specific milestones for cycling as a transport mode in the transport system of the future”.
