Ontario Is Reportedly Keeping Speed Limits At 110 km/h On Some Highways & Here's Where

There could be some good news for Ontario drivers because speed limits of 110 km/h on certain highways are reportedly here to stay.

Per The Canadian Press, the Ontario government is set to announce that the 110 km/h speed limit on six sections of some highways will be a permanent change as of April 22.

These are the six sections of Ontario highways where these speed limits are expected to stay:

1. Highway 401 from Windsor to Tilbury
2. Highway 402 from London to Sarnia
3. Highway 404 from Newmarket to Woodbine
4. Highway 417 from Ottawa to the Quebec border
5. Highway 417 from Kanata to Arnprior
6. Queen Elizabeth Way from Hamilton to St. Catharines

Back in 2019, the provincial government increased the speed limit on these sections of the major highways as part of a pilot project.

On top of this, the government is also reportedly expected to announce a new 110 km/h speed limit for sections of two other highways: Highway 400 from MacTier to Nobel and Highway 11 from Emsdale to South River. These sections will see the speed limit increase on a trial basis, CP reports.

Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney is expected to make an announcement on March 29 at 4:15 p.m. in Tilbury, where she will be joined by the mayor of Windsor, Drew Dilkens.

This is among several big changes that the Ontario government has announced for its highways, which include highway expansion projects like Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass.
