What type of vehicles does Class R include?

Class R encompasses a specific category of vehicles primarily focused on recreational use and safety regulations unique to that class. In Maryland, Class R includes vehicles such as converted buses. These vehicles are designed to transport people, but they may have been altered from their original configuration, thus falling under this classification.

Converted buses are often used for purposes such as shuttle services or as multi-passenger vehicles for recreational activities. The classification helps ensure that inspections and regulations for these types of vehicles address the unique safety needs and operational nuances associated with them.

While other types of vehicles like trailers without air brakes, low-speed vehicles, and combinations of Class A and Class T vehicles are relevant in different contexts, they do not fall within the Class R designation. Trailers without air brakes have specific classifications based on weight and braking systems. Low-speed vehicles often refer to smaller vehicles with limited top speeds and are categorized separately. Combinations of Class A and Class T vehicles refer to heavier vehicle combinations and do not pertain to the recreational use aspect emphasized within the Class R classification.
