The Ontario government says it will soon be raising the speed limit along certain stretches of provincial highways, including Highway 401 and Highway 403.
In a news release issued Wednesday, the province confirmed that starting this summer, the speed limit will be raised from 100 km/h to 110 km/h on 10 additional sections of provincial highways in both the southern and northern parts of Ontario.
Speeds will also be increased along a 35-kilometre stretch on Highway 401 from Highway 35/115 to Cobourg. It notes that the changes also “align with posted speed limits in other jurisdictions” across the country. “These evidence-based increases are a common-sense change to make life more convenient for Ontario drivers while bringing our highway speed limits in line with other Canadian provinces.”
