Many Francophone areas are car-centric (in fact most are). Laval and Longueuil are very Francophone, and are totally car-oriented.
And in those English-speaking areas that you pointed out I don't think you'll notice anything special driving there, given that all signs have to be in French, so they don't appear any different from the suburban Francophones areas like Laval or Longueuil.
In general the best place to "feel" the atmosphere of a place is the local supermarket. At a local supermarket in Laval or Longueuil you can probably feel how it is to be in North America en français, just by listening to other shoppers around you.
