37. (1) The owner shall carry out the management of Highway 407 in compliance with the ministry safety standards used by the Ministry of Transportation for comparable controlled-access highways. 1998, c. 28, s. 37 (1).
Equal application of standards
(2) The ministry safety standards shall be applied to Highway 407 in the same manner as they are applied to any part of the King's highway that is designated as a controlled-access highway and in no case shall the owner be required,
(a) to follow a standard that is more onerous than the safety standard that applies to other comparable controlled-access highways; or
(b) to apply a safety standard in a manner that is more onerous than the manner in which it is applied to other comparable highways that are designated as controlled-access highways. 1998, c. 28, s. 37 (2).
Other standards
(3) Despite subsection (1), with the approval of the Minister of Transportation, the owner may use safety standards other than ministry safety standards in carrying out its functions, activities and responsibilities with respect to Highway 407 if, in the opinion of the Minister of Transportation, the proposed standard provides equivalent safety protection to the ministry safety standard. 1998, c. 28, s. 37 (3).
