| The
metric system for drivers |
Canada uses the metric system of weights and measures. This is especially significant
for American drivers because speed limits, distances and fuel prices are all posted
in unfamiliar terms. Here are some handy comparisons that will help you with Canadian
signs and fuel prices. A kilometre (km) is roughly six tenths (0.6) of a mile.
Use the following approximations to estimate speed limits and distances:
| 25 km |
= |
15 miles |
| 40 km |
= |
25 miles |
| 50 km |
= |
30 miles |
| 60 km |
= |
37 miles |
| 80 km |
= |
50 miles |
| 100 km |
= |
60 miles |
Fuel in Canada is sold in litres.
It takes 3.78 litres
to make a U.S. gallon |

Note |
- Radar detection devices are illegal in many Canadian provinces, so it is best
to leave these at home. In Ontario and Quebec, simple possession of a radar detection
device is illegal, even if it is not being used.
- By law, seat belt use is mandatory for all occupants of a vehicle driven in
Canada. Adults are responsible for ensuring that anyone younger than 16 in a vehicle
they are driving is wearing a seat belt.
- A vehicle registration form from your state government will establish that
you own your vehicle. You should carry similar documents for any trailers you
are bringing with you. If you are driving a rented or borrowed vehicle or pulling
a trailer that does not belong to you, you should have documentation from the
legal owner establishing that you have his or her permission to use it.
