Abstract

This Regulation enacts managing provisions regulating the of use of forest roads, and is divided into 13 sections as follows: 1 Definitions; 2 Provisions of Motor Vehicle Act applicable to forest service roads; 3 Snowmobiles; 4 Speed restriction; 5 Use of 2-way radio; 6 Traffic control devices; 7 Maintenance of vehicles used on forest service roads; 8 Vehicle identification; 9 Obstructions within a forest service road right of way; 10 Damage to roads; 11 No works, etc. on right of way without a permit; 12 Liability insurance and 13 Offence. Of interest, part 6 of this Regulation provides for a district manager to cause a traffic control device to be erected on a forest service road if, in the district manager's opinion, restrictions on the use of the road or the traffic on the road are required to achieve the purposes of section 4 (b) and (c) of the Ministry of Forests Act. Part 8 states that an industrial vehicle must be licensed unless the owner of the vehicle and a distinguishing number identifying the vehicle is clearly visible from ground level. Moreover, if use of a forest service road's right of way, or the presence of a vehicle or animal, would likely cause significant damage to the road, right of way or environment, or endanger life or property, a district manager may obstruct a forest service road in an appropriate manner.
