As for the Yellowhead (highway 16) in Edmonton - If the speed limit on Whitemud is only 80km/hr I can’t see Yellowhead being more than that.

This is directly from the main page of the Yellowhead Trail Freeway project on the City of Edmonton's website.

Yellowhead Trail is becoming a freeway. This means 3 lanes of free-flowing traffic in each direction. The target speed will be 80km/hr. To do this, current signalized intersections and access on or off Yellowhead Trail will need to be removed and 2 new interchanges will be built. Road users will exit and enter Yellowhead Trail at the nearest interchange or a new parallel service road.

For some areas of the Yellowhead Trail, we are further along in the design process as concept planning is finished. In other areas, like 127 Street and 121 Street, concept planning will start in 2019.
