SPEED LIMIT * Canada - Provinces at odds over plan to force truckers to stay below 105 kmh
Ottawa,ONT,CAN -The Canadian Press -21 May 2008: -- The provinces are in a political traffic jam over plans to force transport trucks to carry electronic speed limiters... While Ontario and Quebec are poised to mandate the use of microchips that prevent trucks from travelling faster than 105 kilometres an hour, other provinces are balking at the idea, saying it could actually make roads less safe... Ottawa cannot impose a nationwide law, since transportation falls under provincial jurisdiction. In an attempt to find a consensus, the federal government hired consultants last year to study how mandatory speed limiters would affect road safety, costs for trucking companies and other issues... Those studies are still unfinished, and Manitoba Transportation Minister, Ron Lemieux, is not taking a position until he sees them...
