What is the maximum permissible height for most trucks in Ontario?

In Ontario, the maximum permissible height for most trucks is 4.15 meters (13.68 feet). This height restriction is established to ensure that commercial vehicles can safely navigate roadways, under bridges, and through overpasses without risking collisions or damage. Maintaining this height limit is crucial for safety, as taller vehicles may encounter obstacles on the road that could lead to accidents or property damage.

The specific height limit allows for a balance between accommodating larger vehicles for efficiency in transportation while also ensuring compliance with infrastructure restrictions. Understanding these regulations is essential for truck drivers to operate within the law and avoid potential fines or hazards associated with height violations.
