Language
New Brunswick is Canada's only official bilingual province with 33% of the population French-speaking. Time New Brunswick is on Atlantic Daylight Time. Entering our province from Maine or Quebec, set your watch ahead one hour. Directions Take a look at our map or visit:  Highways in New Brunswick The speed limits in Canada are posted in kilometers per hour(km/hr) as opposed to miles per hour(mi/hr). The speed limit on most city streets is 50 km/hr (30 mi/hr). On most highways, the speed limit is posted as 100 km/hr (60 mi/hr). A rule of thumb is to multiply the posted speed limit by 6 and then divide by 10 to convert the posted km/hr to mi/hr. Seat belts are mandatory for drivers and passengers. Children under five years of age and under 18 kilograms (40 lbs) must be in an infant carrier or approved child restraint. The carrying (transporting) of radar detectors is PROHIBITED whether the device is in use or NOT! Liquor Legal drinking age in licensed premises is 19 years. Bottled liquor (spirits, beer and wine) is sold in government stores. There are various private stores throughout the province that sell liquor as agencies for the NB Liquor Corporation. Currency Exchange Rates of exchange vary from establishment to establishment. As there are no laws enforcing the rate of exchange on foreign currency, it is wise to change your money at a bank or a reputable currency exchange. Banks are generally open 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.
