Other provinces with 110 km/h limits

Ontario is not the only province that permits speeds of 110 km/h on certain stretches of highways.

Other provinces that have highway speed limits of up to 110 km/h include Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan.

Highest speed limit in Canada

British Columbia is home to the highest speed limit in the country.

Many of the province’s separated highways have a speed limit of 110 km/h, but there is one area where you can drive 120 km/h and that is the highest speed limit of any highway in Canada.

B.C.’s Highway 5 has a stretch between Hope and Kamloops – through this stretch the highway is called the Coquihalla Highway – where the speed limit is 120 km/h.

The speed limit here and at a few other highways had been raised by the provincial government in 2014; however, the other highways have since had their speed limits lowered.
