Clarification on the SAAQ law project, regarding the safety devices on dump trucks.

 

The first version of the regulation was pre-published in August 2018, and the comments received are still being examined. Amendments to the regulation may be required.

 

 

Several questions were raised.

Following the first publication, several questions have been raised. In order to respond, the SAAQ has created a Q & A document on safety devises on dump trucks, where most of the questions have been answered.

 

• Is April 18, 2019 the deadline to equip the targeted vehicles? 
• Should the devices be approved by the SAAQ?
• What is the speed limit before the alarm is activated?
• Should the alarm stop after 2 seconds and then reactivate at 20 km/h?

Reminder

 

"The modifications to the Road Safety Code provides the obligation to equip all heavy dumper vehicles with a warning device that activates when the dumper is not completely lowered. Starting in April 2019, all heavy vehicles with dumper, in which the dumper exceeds the maximal height permitted when it is raised, must be equipped with a warning device that will activate when the dumper is not completely lowered."

The present regulation will enter into effect as of April 18, 2018.
