Halifax, Nova Scotia — Nova Scotia is preparing to allow three-wheeled vehicles on the road as part of a five-year pilot project to begin this month and continue until the spring of 2029.
Haligonia, a Halifax-area news source noted that the pilot project will begin on May 15th across the province. Under the pilot project, three-wheeled vehicles must be registered and will be permitted as a passenger vehicle.
Drivers of three-wheeled vehicles will also still require a full Class 5 license, will need to wear a motorcycle helmet and any passengers will be required to be at least nine years old.
For the trial period, Three-Wheeled Vehicles Pilot Project regulations will be posted online as part of the pilot provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act.
“Road safety for all users is our priority and we want to make sure these federally regulated vehicles are suitable for use on our roadways,” said Twila Grosse, Minister of African Nova Scotian Affairs on behalf of Public Works Minister, Kim Masland. “This project will give us the time we need to properly test, evaluate, and review the long-term potential for three-wheeled vehicles on our roads.”
As a result, Nova Scotian repairers will have one week to prepare before the tricycles begin rolling into their shops.
