In Canada the road transportation responsabilities are shared between federal and provincial governments. Part of  federal government responsibilities is the creation of specific safety vehicle standards for manufacturers for the transportation of passengers and goods.

In each province, the administrations have the responsibility to enforce road safety in their territory.
