What is the maximum length of a combination vehicle allowed in Ontario?

The maximum length of a combination vehicle allowed in Ontario is 23 metres (75 feet). This regulation is set to ensure safe travel on the roads and to facilitate the efficient operation of commercial vehicles. A combination vehicle generally refers to a vehicle that includes a tractor unit and one or more trailers.

By adhering to this maximum length, it ensures that such vehicles can navigate roadways safely without compromising traffic flow or increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, this limit is part of a broader set of regulations that govern the operation of heavy vehicles in Ontario to ensure that they can be operated safely while still being able to carry out necessary transportation tasks.

Other potential lengths mentioned do not comply with provincial regulations. Thus, the choice of 23 metres aligns with the legal requirements for combination vehicles in Ontario.
