How is a non-French speaking person expected to drive in Montreal?
All the signs are in French and I have no clue what they mean.
They could have at least translate the major street names to English.
When *they* come to the English speaking parts of the country, they expect everything to be in dual languages, so why can't they do the same?
It must be said though, that the people are very helpful, and very patient with those who don't know French.
They do their best to give you directions, but it would help if you knew how to pronounce the damn street names

The street names are not that hard to pronounce.. and you can always practise a few street names before going..
I have driven to Montreal twice last summer.. and also went to Quebec City (More french than Montreal) .. and needless to mention I donno ABC of French.. still managed to have a great time there.. People are really friendly and they will always help you with directions if you are lost.
Have a nice time..
