The site is RVDA of Canada. This information is by province and does not necessarily match all of the information preferred above. The max length for M/H in Alberta is 12.5M or 41". There are lots of 45" M/H on the road as a result of the statute not being enforced as a result of an upcoming amendment to 14M or 46". As implied above, the rules are provincially determined however there is reciprocity between provinces.
The expectation now is that a final federal regulation will be published in the Canada Gazette Part II in 2005 and mirrored shortly thereafter in provincial and territorial regulations.
Vehicle Weights and Dimensions — The federal, provincial and territorial governments agreed to make three changes to the national standards for the weights and dimensions of trucks and buses. The country's transportation ministers endorsed these changes following a recommendation by the intergovernmental Task Force on Vehicle Weights and Dimensions Policy, which considered them at the request of industry stakeholders. Under the changes:
the existing standard for the overall box length on a truck configured as an "A-train double-trailer" is increased to 20 metres, giving that configuration the same length as the "B-train" and "C-train" double-trailer configurations;
for the second trailer in a "B-train double-trailer" truck configuration, a new standard will limit the placement of the kingpin to a maximum two metres from any point on the front of the trailer or its load, restricting the swing-out of the trailer during maneuvers; and recreational vehicles (i.e. motor homes) are shifted from the category covering "straight trucks" to the category covering "intercity buses," which increases their maximum allowable length from 12.5 to 14 metres.
The new standards are targeted for implementation by individual provinces and territories on July 1, 2005. Canada's national standards are defined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Interprovincial Vehicle Weights and Dimensions.
