New Speed-Limiting Regulation for Quebec & Ontario

Effective January 1, 2009, the speed-limiting system (engine governor) of a commercial motor vehicle shall be properly set at a maximum speed of 105 kilometers per hour (65 MPH). The speed-limiting system must be properly set so the engine is restricted from accelerating above the permitted speed. The commercial motor vehicle is exempt if the tractor is manufatured prior to 1995.

What does this mean to you and me?

Your tractor will need to be governed at 105 kilometers per hour (65 MPH) if you travel to Ontario and Quebec. The officers on the roadside will have a way to inspect to see that you are in compliance, therefore, you will need to prevent violations before they occur on the roadside.

For more information, visit http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/english/elaws_regs_900587_e.htm and scroll to #12-#18 in the regulations.
