Speed Debate Wages On

The speed of Ontario highways is up for debate.
In, B.C, the speed limits are going up on about 1,300 kilometres of highway this summer and in a few cases up to 120 km/h.
Quebec is also exploring the idea of variable speed limits, as high as 120 km/h, but only when the weather’s good, as part of a pilot project on two highways this fall.
Now Ontario motorists have started a campaign that would allow vehicles to be able to roll along at up to 130 km/h on some of the province’s better highways.
However, there is no interest from the provincial Ministry of Transportation in seeing that happen, and in fact some provinces are even trying to slow things down.
