Cars made after May 2018 must have back-up cameras: Transport Canada
OTTAWA — Transport Canada says new cars and small trucks will have to be equipped with rear-view camera systems starting in May 2018.
The new regulations have been formally posted in the Canada Gazette for a 75-day comment period.
The requirement for back-up visibility brings Canadian standards in line with those in the United States.
The department says it’s a safety measure because children, disabled persons, the elderly and others are vulnerable to back-up mishaps.
