With Newfoundland, PEI and the Territories road conditions (& moose) probably not built for higher speeds, i'm not surprised about their speed limits, also Quebec and the Atlantic provinces getting so much snow I'm not too surprised that Quebec doesn't have highest speed limit in Canada either and limited to 100km/hr. I am surprised though Ontario speed limit is 100km/hr. Last time I drove there, I could have sworn it was 110km/hr and therefore I drove ~130km/hr not thinking anything different.
I think that's generally how people view speed limits, in good conditions can tack on an extra 15 to 20% onto speed limit without worrying too much about getting tagged in speed traps.
for example, Saskatoon to Regina is 259kms distance but most drivers do it in almost exactly 2hrs, city limits to city limits. |
I didn’t know SK RCMP’s that chill with speeding. Don’t RCMP across the Prairies (especially in MB) tag people at 11 km/h over?
I’ve posed this question several times but never really got any consensus answer.
