National Standards for Heavy Vehicle Weights and
Dimensions
|
In February 1988, the Council of Ministers of Transportation
and Highway Safety endorsed a Memorandum of Understanding designed to
improve uniformity in regulations governing the weights and dimensions of
commercial vehicles operating between provinces and territories. Since
1988, the scope and content of the MOU has been expanded or amended on
several occasions. Under the terms of the MOU, each of the provinces and
territories will permit vehicles which comply with the appropriate weights
and dimensions described in the agreement to travel on a designated system
of highways within their jurisdiction.
It should be recognized that each jurisdiction retains the
authority to allow more liberal weights and dimensions, or different types
of vehicle configurations, within their jurisdiction.

Amendments to the MOU – October 2009
In October 2009 the
Council of Ministers approved changes in several provisions of the MOU,
including an amendment to the definition for “track width”,
changes in applicability dates for minimum track width requirements for
axles fitted with single tires, and inclusion of the Stinger Steer Auto
Carrier configuration in the MOU as a Specialized Vehicle.
