Municipal traffic restrictions in Quebec & France

Overview

In late July 2026, municipal authorities announced a series of temporary traffic measures affecting both France and Quebec. The city of Champigny, France, began vertical and horizontal signalling works on all municipal roads from 29 July to 23 October, imposing a 30 km/h speed limit, prohibiting parking, restricting overtaking for motor vehicles, and reducing lanes or alternating flow where needed. Pedestrians and people with reduced mobility were to use opposite sidewalks or temporary crossings.

In Quebec, the municipality of Saint‑Joseph‑de‑Beauce announced a temporary bike‑path closure for maintenance, directing cyclists and pedestrians to alternative routes. A week later, the Quebec Ministry of Transport added a full closure of Route 340 in Vaudreuil‑Dorion from the night of 2 August until the end of October, with detour signage and continued access for local residents and businesses. The same day, Saint‑Joseph‑de‑Beauce scheduled a road‑marking operation on Avenue du Palais for 4 August, involving repainting lane markings and signage.

All projects are described as part of local infrastructure improvements, with motorists and commuters advised to plan for extra travel time and follow temporary traffic signs throughout the summer and into early autumn.
