2024-07-01

519.80. A detection system may be used

(1)  in a school zone;

(2)  in a place where, in accordance with section 303.1, signs or signals indicate, for the duration of work for the construction or maintenance of a public highway, a speed limit to be respected other than the prescribed speed limit; and

(3)  on a public highway or part of a public highway designated by the Minister of Transport.

Such a designation is made according to the criteria determined by government regulation. The list of public highways or parts of public highways so designated is published on the website of the Ministère des Transports. The date of such designation and publication as well as the designated public highway and the documents attesting it shall be registered by the Minister and recorded electronically.

The Minister shall determine the conditions and procedures of an application made by a municipality for the purposes of the designation of a public highway the maintenance of which is under the responsibility of the municipality.

The Government may, by regulation, prescribe that a detection system may be used on a vehicle or other equipment it designates and set out the cases in which and the conditions on which the system may be used. The provisions of the regulation may depart from those of section 294.1, of the second paragraph of section 312.1 and of sections 519.81, 602.7 and 602.8 of this Code if the Government, on the recommendation of the Minister, considers that their application is inconsistent with the use of a detection system as provided for by the regulation.
