  Autoroute (Quebec) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The speed limit on Quebec's Autoroutes is generally 100 km/h (60 mph) in rural areas and 70-90 km/h (45-55 mph) in urban areas.
Quebec's Autoroutes are numbered from 1-99 in the case of principal routes, and from 400-999 in the case of collector routes or deviation routes (what Americans would term bypass routes) designed such that truck traffic can by-pass urban areas.
Quebec's first Autoroute was the Autoroute des Laurentides (Laurentian Autoroute), which opened in 1959 as a toll road.

Autoroute 15 (also called the Decarie Expressway (English) or Autoroute Décarie (French) in Montreal and the Laurentian Autoroute (English) Autoroute des Laurentides (French) north of Highway 40) is a highway in western Quebec.
It is currently the only constructed north-south Autoroute to go out of Montreal on both sides (until a new bridge will be built to connect both ends of A-25), running from the United States border at Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle (where it continues as Interstate 87) to Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts with intentions to continue beyond Mont-Tremblant.
The route is also connected to Quebec Autoroute 30 in Candiac which will be completed to Quebec Autoroute 20 in 2009 providing a quicker access to the south shore of Montreal, to southern communities located alongside Highway 15 and to the US-Canadian border in Lacolle.

Quebec is bordered by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay to the west, the provinces of New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador to the east, the United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York) to the south and Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay to the north.
Quebec City was founded by Samuel de Champlain who established the Habitation de Quebec in 1608 as a permanent fur trading outpost, where he quickly forged a trading and military alliance with Algonkian and Huron nations against the Iroquois and the British.
In 1774, fearful that the French-speaking population of Quebec would side with the rebels of the 13 colonies to the south, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act that paved the way to official recognition of the French language and French culture.
