Canadian experience with vehicle headlights and glare at night

Current status: Closed

Consultation period: March 6, 2026 to April 20, 2026.

While new headlight technology in vehicles can help drivers see better, they can also cause problems for other road users. Transport Canada wants to learn how headlight glare affects road users and what vehicle or lighting features may influence how people experience it at night.

We want to hear about your experiences, opinions, and behaviours with vehicle headlight glare.
