It's March 15 and that means as of tomorrow, Quebecers are allowed to swap out their winter tires for summer or all-season tires.

Winter tires are mandatory from Dec. 1 to March 15, inclusive, on all motorized road vehicles registered in Quebec, including mopeds, motorized scooters and motorcycles.

Time to change to summer tires also means April 1 is around the corner – and Montreal drivers should get ready to check street parking signs. Street cleaning rules come into effect at the beginning of the month.
