Quebec Introduces New Safety Guidelines for Heavy Vehicles

In a move to enhance road safety, Quebec has announced a set of new safety guidelines specifically tailored for heavy vehicles, including trucks. These guidelines are part of the province's broader strategy to reduce the number of fatal collisions involving such vehicles. However, cycling advocates have criticized the new measures, stating that they are insufficient without being turned into legal requirements. They emphasize that formalizing these guidelines into law would provide more robust protection for cyclists and other vulnerable road users. Despite the positive reception of the guidelines as a preliminary step, proponents of cycling and pedestrian safety are calling for additional actions to further mitigate the risks associated with heavy vehicle traffic.
