A-30
ends at a signalized intersection with Chemin Larocque. R-132 and

bridge that crosses the Beauharnois Ship Canal.

looking westerly in the Winter towards the Boul. des Erables
intersection. The Autoroute is four-way stop controlled at this
intersection. One wouldn't encounter a four-way stop on an
interstate or 400-series highway.

This section of A-30 is to be by-passed with a new highway that likes
the south shore to A-20 and A-40. This section of Autoroute is to
be redesigated A-530.

The Western-most segment of A-30 ends at the Boul. Pie-XII intersection in Salaberry-De-Valleyfield. A-30 resumes at Route 138 in Chateauguay
The Chateauguay Section of A-30 ends at a signalized intersection with Route 138. Click here for Route 138 images.

looking easterly along A-30 from the Route 138 intersection. All
through traffic along A-20 and A-15 must navigate this tight loop ramp.
Considering these are both long distance principal though routes both
leading through the heart of Montreal, it is no wonder the MTQ has been
so aggressive to finish the South Shore Bypass (A-30).

Candiac
Advanced
exit signage in Quebec is sometimes placed ridiculously close to the
actual exit signage. In this case there is less than 300m between
the advanced signage and the exit signage. At 120km/h, a vehicle
traverses 300m in 15 seconds.

Exit
signage for Exit 99. Through trucks are frequently restricted from
minor roads in Quebec. Truck restrictions are far less common in
neighbouring Ontario.

Signage
for exit 107, and advising traffic of the upcoming A-10 interchange.
I know I have mentioned this in other commentaries, but it is
interesting that MTQ chooses not to use the word 'Vers' to denote a
trailblazer. Exit 109 is only A-10, not A-10/15 and Interstate 89.

Advanced
signage for the ramp from A-30 to A-10. Notice the reference to
A-15-North. A-30 meets A-15 about 10km to the west of this
interchange. This exit is the most direct route from the South
Shore to the Champlain Bridge.

R-112/116 was at one point to be a freeway directly from the Jacques
Cartier Bridge, numbered A-16. This obviously never came to
fruition.
