Transport ministry looking at increasing speeds ‘where it is safe to do so,’ premier says
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has directed the Ministry of Transportation to explore increasing the speed limit to 110 km/h on all stretches of 400-series highways “where it is safe to do so.”
Ford made the comments at an unrelated news conference Wednesday.
Earlier this year, speed limits were increased on 10 lengths of highway throughout the province.
The changes followed a 2019 pilot project that looked at raising speeds on various roadways. Transport Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria said Wednesday feedback from the pilot “came back very positive.”
More to come.
