towed by a tractor should also
carry a red light at the rear. If the
combination of two vehicles is
longer than 20 feet, the overall
size of the machinery must be"
indicated by showing a green or
amber light on each side of the
front and a red light on each side
of the rear. Approved reflectors
may also be used instead of these
rear lights.
Signs not
needed on
small trucks
Transportation and Communi-
cations Minister John R. Rhodes
has announced that owners of
small trucks are no longer
required to have their names
printed on the side of their
vehicles.
The amendment to the
Regulations of Ontario made
under The Highway Traffic Act
became effective July 2, 1974.
The amendment exempts all
commercial motor vehicles having
a gross weight of not more than
18,000 pounds, in addition to
motorized mobile home, and
trucks fitted with camper units
which were exempted under a
previous regulation.
The new regulation is the result
of increased popularity in the use
of small commercial motor
vehicles as a means of private
transportation.

On the road with
farm vehicles?
Safety Assoc.
lists regulations
The operation of large farms
and rented land often means that
farm equipment must travel at
least some distance on provincial
roads and highways.
"While items of farm
equipment are usually not
considered to be motor vehicles
under the law, they are vehicles,
and as such must follow the
regulations," says the general
manager of the Farm Safety
Association, D.E.Brown.
The use of slow-moving vehicle
signs (SMV's) has been adopted
by most Ontario farmers. SMV's
must be attached to the rear of
every farm tractor or
self-propelled implement or any
vehicle (such as grain and forage
wagons) being hauled by either of
these implements. "Statistics
show that these signs have helped
to reduce the number of serious
accidents caused on the road by
rear-end collisions," says Mr.
Brown.
Regulations for maximum size
limitations of farm equipment
have also been described in the
Highway Traffic Act. Single
vehicles, such as the flat-bed
truck, must be no longer than 35
feet including the load. • A
combination of vehicles — tractor
and wagon or tractor and plow —
should not exceed 65 feet in
length. The maximum width for
either single or combination
vehicles cannot exceed 102
inches.
"If your farm equipment
cannot be made to comply with
the regulations, oversize/ over-
weight permits are available from
the Ontario Ministry of
Transportation and
communications," says Mr.
Brown. These permits are valid
for one year from the date of issue
at no cost to farmers.
Adequate lighting is required
for traveling at night or when
driving conditions are poor.
Tractors equipped with an
electrical lighting system must.
carry two headlights and one red
rear, light. Implements or wagOns
