It is forbidden to bike on all major highways in Quebec (i.e. 10, 15, 20, 40, 55, etc.). This accident happened on a main regional thoroughfare (route 112). Some sections of regional routes can be forbidden to pedestrian and cycling traffic. For example, Route 112 is that way in St-Hubert and Longueuil, were it becomes a 6-lane divided highway.
