Exactly. Often used in reserved bus lanes. Bus drivers hate it (honking their horn) when someone stops to drop someone off, thus blocking traffic. "It's only 30 seconds". Wrong answer. It's not a no parking, it's a no stopping. Ensures fluidity of traffic and decreases the risk of accidents due to sudden lane changes to avoid the stopped car.
The problem also comes from the cops, I never seen it reinforced

This might be the most ignored traffic sign. By the way, do you know what it means?

I don't know what universe you guys are living in, where this sign could even come up in a conversation as a contender. There is one sign that in universally ignored by everyone, then another that is ignored by everyone on occasion. No exceptions. Every single driver.. First prize, then second prize, hands down, no contest. Honestly it's not even worth discussing. :D

You are actually the one living in another universe and utterly wrong about the 1st prize:

Yeah, no. I stand by my earlier statement. Cyclists are a small group next to motorists. Even if every cyclist in the city ignored that sign they'd still be a relatively small group compared to the motorists. 40KM/hr definitely wins. Much more than 30km/hr, even. The cyclist signs are so far behind that they're almost invisible! :D

How could I forget speed limits? By the way, has anyone ever seen an SPVM cop with a radar in hand, except maybe around schools at the beginning of the school year?

every day. They are positively littered around the service roads next to the 40. I'm always conscious of it and very scrupulous not to drive above 55km/hr on the service roads there. Especially in the areas between St. Charles and Sources. There is someone in their usual hiding spots literally every single day, although they rotate spots. Gotta fill that quota!! :)

They must be active in some areas more than others. In my neighbourhood, I've seen them a couple of times check stop signs around a park where kids play, which is exactly what we'd want them to do. Several drivers were caught.

Seasonal allergies have kicked in, prescription antihistamine for tomorrow it is!
Damnit I have now nose sprayed cortisone.
This year even my prescription is not working 100%. Pharmacist told me double the doses for everything.

Why the fuck does 6th place Montreal have to play the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th placed clubs to win the Stanley Cup? It’s bullshit how the NHL seeds the playoffs. It’s double bullshit for the fucked up schedule of the second series starting before the first series are done. Go Habs Go!

Its been an awkward schedule all season, because of the boring olympics.
