Notably, for the most parts, Canadian traffic signs employ two languages-- English, French or both, and some incorporate indigenous language such as “Cree”. There are basically 4 types of Canadian traffic signs: regulatory, warning, information and direction.
Stop Sign (French and English) | Stop Sign (Inuktitut and English) | Stop sign (Cree) |
Canada has not joined in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, explaining why the road traffic system looks different to what we usually see in Europe or other countries.
Its regulatory signs mostly feature a circular shape, with some exceptions.
No Stopping | No Left Turn | No Overtaking | Yield |
You will not see a common maximum speed sign in Canada, contrarily to some other countries. The maximal speed sign is usually rectangular, with a black writing on a white background.
Maximum Speed Limit |
Most Canadian warning signs are diamond-shaped with black lettering or symbols on a yellow background.
Stop Ahead | Dead End | Bump or Uneven pavement on the Road Ahead | Be Alert for Animals | Railway Crossing Ahead |
In Canada, information signs show where you are, what road you are driving on or how to reach certain places. These signs normally feature a rectangular shape with green or blue background.
Hospital Nearby | Gas Available Ahead | Accommodation Ahead |
As for directional signs, they are usually rectangular with a green background, and inform drivers about the direction or distance in kilometres to neighboring towns and cities.
Directions to Nearby Towns and Cities | Distances in Kilometres to Towns and Cities on the Road |

No problems throughout the journey. The car was mechanically sound and did not give us any problems. They should offer unlimited mileage option at a competitive price. I had a round trip BC experience that exceeded my daily driving limit of 200KM which was very less. So for adventure travellers the car turned out to be bit expensive. I was actually thinking of renting cars with unlimited mileage in future.

The pickup location was easy to find, and the car provided was a Ford, which was great to drive. The only drawback was that the car would automatically lock with the key inside, leaving us to experience roadside assistance in an area with no signal. We were quite worried at the time, but thankfully Avis staff resolved it quickly without causing too much delay to our trip.

Highly recommend this car rental company! This time I rented a Kia model, and the car quality was outstanding. It drove very smoothly and felt stable. The interior was comfortable, providing a pleasant experience as soon as you got inside. The exterior design is also bold and impressive—I found it even better than the Ford I rented before. Plus, the company’s efficiency is excellent; the entire process from booking to pickup went seamlessly. The staff were very enthusiastic and patiently explained all the details about using the vehicle. What satisfied me the most was the return process, which had no hidden charges and was exactly as promised. Very reliable—I'll choose this company again next time!

Rented the car at Vancouver Airport and returned it at Calgary Airport. The pick-up and drop-off locations were easy to find, as all the rental companies operate in the same hall. Originally booked a Toyota Corolla but upgraded to a Malibu for an additional CAD 20/day, which wasn’t expensive. The American version of the Malibu has strong power, reaching 120 km/h with only slight acceleration.
