Quebec -

La Prairie.  <br><br>

<i>These are still the old Quebec shields, before the grand renumbering.  What is now Autoroute 10, was still the Autoroute des Cantons de L’est, and its shield was a red triangle.  What really fascinated me was that the guide signs specific to that route in the distance were also red.  I know that other toll autoroutes had a similar triangular shield in different colors, including blue and green (BGS, BBS and BRS – sheesh!).  Would those guide signs be matched to the toll road color?  Of course an Interstate shield in Canada is always something special.</i>
