1) What are general speed limits for city and country driving? (Although I do seem to remember that they were generally well sign posted) Very well posted - hard to mistake
2) Can one turn right on a red light, so long as one stops first? Yes
3) What are the rules for giving way to pedestrians? I seem to remember, as a pedestrian in Edmonton, multi-lane highways screeching to a halt if I so much as looked at the road... which was a bit embarrassing, but don't recall noticing it so badly elsewhere. Edmonton peculiarity, or something I as a driver should be prepared to do? yes, stop for all pedestrians - not sure if it's a hard and fast rule - but you don't want to hit a pedestrian.
(Oh, and if anyone could give me pointers on who has right of way at a 4 way stop I'd be grateful. 4th driving trip to N. America, and I still can't work it out! ) The first person there has the right of way - if two people stop at the same time - it's the person to your right who you should give way to.
