This is the intersection of Rte de l'Aéroport at a parking lot entrance in Quebec City!

These traffic signals rest on the green ball with a right turn green arrow! It will only change if the following happens:
- A pedestrian pushes the button, which triggers a fully protected pedestrian phase for all crosswalks at the same time, while traffic is stopped in all directions.
- A vehicle waiting on the side street will trigger a green ball for cross traffic.
- A vehicle waiting to turn left for the uphill direction, or a vehicle waiting in the right turn lane for the side street, will trigger a left turn green arrow for the uphill direction, with a right turn overlap for the side street.
There are no dedicated left turn lanes at this intersection.
Trivia:
- Quebec City bylaws require pedestrian phases to be fully protected and must not be permissive. This is done by using fully protected turn signal phasing, "through only" green arrows, protected all-way pedestrian phases, etc to separate drivers from pedestrian movements.
- As part of Quebec City's standards, all red intervals must be avoided, except if it takes more than the yellow interval time to enter and exit the intersection traveling at the posted speed limit. Because there is a steep uphill, it can take more than the yellow interval time for heavy trucks to enter and exit the intersection. This is also a main route for trucks. For that reason, a 2 second all red interval was provided at this intersection.
