Cette opération s'inscrit dans la campagne de sécurité routière de la Ville de Montréal et de ses partenaires qui rappelle aux piétons l'importance de traverser au bon endroit au bon moment.

Every year, hundreds of pedestrians are accident victims due to a lack of attention and disrespect of signs and signals.

In montreal, 50% of road deaths are pedestrians, and every year more than 1300 pedestrians are struck by vehicles.

Operation zero accidents aims at reducing the number of accidents and deaths.

This operation is also the objective of every police officer you meet.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BE THE PERFECT PEDESTRIAN

	Use pedestrian crossings or cross at the nearest intersection.
	If there are only TRAFFIC LIGHTS, you have the right-of-way on the green light.
	If there are stop signs, pedestrians take precedence over motorists.
	If there are both traffic lights and pedestrian crossing lights, respect those designated for pedestrians.
	The numerical countdown indicates the time allocated to cross.
	When the figure appears, you can cross after having looked both directions for traffic.
	When the orange hand appears, do not cross. If the hand or figure starts to flash, do not cross. If you are on the roadway already, cross quickly.
	Cross in the passage marked by two white lines or white lines.

RESPECT SIGNALS

Violation of pedestrian law is punishable by a $37 fine
