Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I've done some more reading on the issue. It looks like municipalities in Ontario can be liable for damages if they don't maintain roads up to certain minimum standards, as established in Ontario Regulation 612/06.

Safety issues addressed in the Minimum Maintenance Standards include:

- snow accumulation;
- monitoring of ...
