The short version: the Prince Edward Island oversize product is the Special permit, for exceeding standard dimensions, per trip, priced at a flat CA$50; overweight is the Overweight vehicle permit, banded across 6 published gross-weight rows. Every figure on this page is in Canadian dollars, exactly as its source publishes it, and nothing here is converted.

The bordering jurisdictions, each carrying the one fact that decides whether that border is the expensive one. A multi-jurisdiction lane is the actual job, and this is one click rather than a return to the index.

4. Term and annual products
Products this province issues that we record and do not price4 products
Each of these is a real, published product. It is recorded and left unpriced because choosing between a trip permit and a twelve-month permit is a question about what is being bought, not a data gap — and answering it unasked would quote a year of permits for one move.
Each line below quotes the regulation in its own words, so the dollar signs are the regulation's. They are Canadian dollars, like every other figure on this page.
- Special permit for exceeding standard dimensions, annual: $200 (Highway Traffic Act Fees Regulations s. 10).
- Special permit, non-conforming vehicle configuration: $200 (Registrar-issued).
- The overweight regulation does not say whether its fees are for a single trip or a period; it states "fees prescribed for the issuance of a permit in respect of an overweight vehicle". The only text is a 2012 consolidation marked "not the official version".
- Overweight permits are not issued during the Minister's spring weight restrictions (notice of 16 February 2011).
5. Who else issues a permit here
No second permit issuer is recorded for this province.
6. These figures are Canadian dollars
Canadian permit fees are stated in CANADIAN DOLLARS by every source they come from, and the CAD figure is the cited one. The US-dollar figure beside it is OUR conversion: at the European Central Bank daily reference rate when a current one is held, otherwise at the dated Bank of Canada annual average, and the line that converts it names the rate and its date.
