- The Ontario government says it will soon be raising the speed limit along certain stretches of provincial highways, including Highway 401 and Highway 403.
In a news release issued Wednesday, the province confirmed that starting this summer, the speed limit will be raised from 100 km/h to 110 km/h on 10 additional sections of provincial highways in both the southern and northern parts of Ontario.
While none of the sections are in the Greater Toronto Area, Hwy. 403 from Brantford to Hamilton and from Woodstock to Brantford are two areas that have been identified for a speed limit increase.

Everybody goes 120+ already.
Yeah so it makes sense
Now they'll go 130+
This is bad news for a survivable climate. At this higher speed, fossil fuel burning vehicles will burn much more fuel to travel the same distance. This will create even worse climate consequences and increase Earth's temperature even more. Last year was the hottest year in recorded history. Climate scientists were shocked at this increase. The forest fires this year will be even worse than last year. The increased CO2 from faster speeds will heat up the planet even more, not just for a few years, not for a few decades, but well into the next century. Increasing the speed limit is madness. That's just this climate scientists expert opinion. Sincerely, Calvin.
It's kind of scary how fast Some go.
Yep less fine $$$ now.
Just raise it to 120 km/h. That seems to be normal now.
Good reason to waste more money !
How fast you think the speeders gonna go then?
than people will drive 130 lol 😂😂

Don't like the normal speeds or faster? Stay home snowflakes
Drivers still drive over 125km/hr
just drove 125 middle lane this morning and cars on the far left lane still passed me on 400. They were all doing at least 130.
Too me this means speed cameras are coming within the year. End one money grab to start a next
More cameras , more officers .. good way to spend taxpayers money!!
That’s where the speed limit should be on the big highways on the fast lane. 130kl.
@@jpetm8520Nothing wrong with that. Fast lane 130kl.
I'd rather see signs -
"KEEP RIGHT UNLESS PASSING"
"SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT"
"FIRST LANE PASSING ONLY"
Speed in not the issue, First Lane Camping is.
I'd like to see the "slower traffic keep right" signs ON THE LEFT SIDE. There's no way those campers can see off the the right of the road when they can't even see the car behind them in the mirror.
Also add "accelerate to highway speeds on the on ramp". Sick and tired of being stuck behind idiots trying to merge at 60.

It is taught.. just not enforced so it doesn't matter if anyone paid attention to the driving book
Big deal, it was 70 mph (113 kph) when I first moved here over 50 years ago when we were driving death traps...

Lots of Europe also have a stricter test to be licensed... so safe to say their drivers would be better skilled to handle that
Some have 130 km/h from around 7pm to 7am and down to 110 km/h from 7am to 7pm when it's more busy.
Such a bold move, the extent and speed of innovation in this country is astounding! And it sure deserves a big announcement, next let's have a press conference for waking up in the morning without incident. Bravo Ontario, bravo Canada!
doesn't matter what speed you put,
people go 60 on a 50
people go 70 on a 60
people go 80 on a 70
people go 90 on a 80
and people will go 100+ on a 90.
Hopefully this will slow down the Brampton drivers
That’s a ethnicity issue.
Well done I seen people drive 60 km on hwy left overtake lane dam slow when even hwy is empty you should increase to 140
Also people should drive responsibly if you cannot control speed limits drive local

@@ghservices5397 I think the speed limit should be 110 to 120.
They should exclude Brampton as they are already above 100... they are all doing 120 on city limits let alone Highway speeds that go over 150 km/h. It will lead to dangerous driving in that area causing more deaths, more pollution and knocking down innocent pedestrians.
That’s an ethnicity problem out there that the cops seem to ignore because many of them are on the job now and related.
Makes zero sense. No one does 100 on highways. Money wasted.
And how much will it cost us the taxpayers to change the signs. And how many more accidents will happen because of irresponsibly demonstrated by drivers
Not like they're going to make the 401/404 conjuction 110.
They're picking safe regions. 404 north of stouffville has been 110 for the last year and it's been fine.
If everybody goes the same relative speed it’s much safer.. so this allows the slower drivers to not be much more of a moving wall. Thus safer.
90% of comments say were speeding anyway.
Fifty years ago, in 1974, the speed limit on the 400 was 75 mph (121 km/h).
And that’s when the cars were half as safe and in general, not nearly as fast.
It was 70 mph, not 75 mph.
It hasnt done anything for 404 north of stouffville. So many people are still driving 100 on the right and 110 on the left.
Hope I can keep up.
Gotta go fast
I know they pressure you to go faster.

130km/h: 👍

Pefect, people drive according to conditions, not speed limits. Seeing as the flow of traffic is usually 120 (unless you're old) at least, were moving in the right direction.
It’s not speed that causes accidents. It’s the slow drivers that get in the way. Speed limit should be at least 120 km/h.

Hwy 69 needs to be finished before you do anything else - years upon years of construction but has stopped at Nobel - this highway is the main trans Canada hwy and is in desperate shape - many lives have been lost
As it stands now, you can go 120km/h on the 401 and not get pulled over. I usually do 118 and i'm one of the slower cars, except trucks.

Yes back in the good old days of the 1970s the speed limit was 113 km/h. But there were close to 2000 deaths on Ontario highways each year from 1971-1975 with less than half as many drivers. Last year there were 530.
So how was that the good old days??
Cars are a lot safer now. They yell at you when you try and merge into a lane where a vehicle is.
In the days of 100 I did 120. When my section of the 402 went up a couple years ago, I'll go up to 130. I'll go as fast as I feel I won't get a speeding ticket.
Actual highway flow traffic speeds on 400 series highways are 125-135 km/h anyway, so we are going in the right direction.

They tried this here , it made people more impatient ! They reduced the speed a year later and it is way better and less stressful , faster is not always better , it just makes people trying to achieve that speed and get road raging on others that dont feel comfortable going that fast ,especially in bad weather conditions
I'm surprised they don't make everything 60 and then start ticketing like crazy. Also, it would discourage you from going out of town because it would take at least twice as long.
It’s fitting to have a cabbie announce this new speed limit.
Now the people who drive 120 will feel justified to drive 130
More like 160 to 170 in several areas.
Yeah
It has nothing to do with feeling Justified it is Justified as we don't start giving out tickets until 13 km over the limit genius

Wow, what a great idea! John P.
Why doesn't Canada have no speed limit autobahn???
It’s too congested much of the time compared to Germany’s autobahn.
And many new Canadians are not smart enough and responsible enough to know not to speed when unsafe conditions arise on these hypothetical ‘no limit’ highways.
First off, autobahns are already a part of German culture, so time helps.
Second, Germany has good transit and walkability, so there's options on how people get around.
Third, Germany has stricter licensing requirements for people to drive. (Just as well as that most cars in the country are "stick shift".)
Fourth, because of the previous 3 points, Germany's roads have less drivers, so the autobahn is safer. Can't say the same for Canada.
@@capertain16325 Just so you know, there are speed limits on the autobahn on certain stretches.
I know this because I’ve driven on the autobahn unlike you.
A majority of my points were other reasons. Something you clearly glossed over, I didn't even mention speed limits, but here you are.
@@capertain16325 My point stands.
With the amount of deaths on the roads and highways caused by stupid drivers yet the Ontario Government continues to reward the carbrain.
another stupid comment. You cause an accident 100km/h vs 110km/h you really think you're walking away from either? Just because you don't know how to drive doesn't mean we all don't know how to drive. I bet you're the idiot driving 100 in the left lane causing people to pass you dangerously.
You Wonder why they're doing it when there are so many unsafe drivers who like to speed. Unfortunately, there quite a few idiots out there.
there is no traffic enforcement so most drivers are at 120 plus and still getting passed/
Now all the Indians doing 140 will do 150.
Yeah cuz white people never speed, fuck off you racist loser.

Cry
@@Rohityourface I'm gonna be crying in the fast lane baby
Why are you specifically mentioning Indians?, any idiot can go that fast no matter who they are.
Seems so wrong to burn more fuel in these days, while destroying city designs, making life less tolerable, by creating 40 and 30 Kmph zones. "Planners" have it all backwards.... saying that due to the presence of schools and residences, we need to drop the speed limit, INSTEAD they should PLAN.... and say that a school, or more residences, or more intersections are not permitted on a road because of the speed limit of that road by city design . But doing nothing until there is only one option remaining is standard practice for "planners" who won't do the work to plan ahead.
Amazing news but how do you drive that fast during 24h of traffic
The faster the speed the more deadly the crash . . .
Better to invest in automated speed traps.
Can't control your lead foot? Pay the fine (again and again and again).
about effing time, those slower speeds put me to sleep
THERE SHOULDNT BE ANY SPEED LIMITS ON HIGHWAYS...GERMANY DOESNT HAVE ANY
brilliant logic...😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cuz uh German drivers and European drivers are smarter than North American drivers in general, more developed harder to driver, etc 😮
Will make no difference, everyone drives 120km/h or more anyway.
Also this will cause people to use more gas, as most cars are most efficient around 90 km/h. ON government in cahoots with the gouging O&G companies.
Wow people in Ontario are so lucky to have a sensible government. It's basically hell in BC right now.

In bc there are some parts where its 120!
Ppl drive faster anyways and its always up to the discretion of the officer to charge or not
100kph people do 120+
110 people will go 130+
This is dumb.

Is that in INDIA or Canada?
Now they can increase insurance premiums 👏
The Gardiner and the 404 and the 401 around city of Toronto, the mayor will lower the speeds to 80kmh to raise funding Toronto haha
You can't get over 60 on the DVP on most good days lol. They call it the Don Valley Parking Lot for a reason.
It has nothing to do with feeling Justified it is Justified as we don't start giving out tickets until 13 km over the limit
what can possibly go wrong
I guess no politician drives on hwy 401 or they would understand this is silly.
Toronto they go 140 on a good day .Solman
They should lower the speed limits to 80 because the cost of carbon tax we need to waste less fuel. Im always stuck behind someone doing 80 .
They've had that in New Brunswick for years
In the Prairies from Manitoba to B.C. The speed limit is 110 km/h the majority of main highways.
Instead of investing in new higways, we should be putting the money into developing high speed train network. Faster, safer and much cleaner.
Ya, cause that's green
This means people will go 150 now on the 401
They should lower it around Brampton and Markham.....
Raising the limits will increase gas consumption and traffic deaths. Is this what Ford is going for?
not gonna change pompon doing 100 in the fast lane...

120 km/h should be minimum in Europe average is 130 km/h
110 to 120 is good with me.
“They” want to make Canada messy and nobody say nothing…Canada is becoming something very different…
Canada, the United States practically everywhere is changing in a bad way.
If the speed limit is increased to 110 kms, people will drive like maniacs, like they already do. The car manufacturers will have to make deeper dips in the floor under the gas pedal! I drive around 84 kms and it seems to be working well. people can either drive along behind me or pass when it's safe to do so. I'm not holding up common sense drivers.
Just make to 150 km/h , only the strong ones will survive 😅😅
But the shifty, evil tyrannical Stevie Gee-bow said there’s no new roads to be built in Canada. How can this be??🤔🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cry harder
Great to getting faster to meet 👹👈
Speed limit is a cash grab. The speed limit should be flexible according to conditions. 110 is nothing more than a waste of money just to change some signs. Speed is not the problem, it is aggressive driving , following too close and drivers who do not share the road.
Just play Speed King by Deep Purple…….You can do it!!! And please ticket people doing 100 in a 110 zone 😂
Perfect, older vehicles without any regular provincial safety requirements to ensure 110 to 140kms speed limits can be safely achieved. Deathrace 2024.
Now I see why my auto insurance has gone up 26% since 2022.
You cant go 110 on a 2 lane highway that is backed up for 30 miles now!!
Hell I am doing 240. Mind you the straight is only so long and uphill at the track. And in Germany, I cruise at 180-200. The faster drivers are doing 240+ and guess what, they have less fatalities on highways that have far more density, but with no-attitude smarter drivers.

It's not a matter of increase the speed it is the matter of driving and controlling your own car. Why increase the speed limit when a driver is clueless in handling and driving their car. It's all for a political gain and vote - sad

Just what we need...allowing arguably the worst drivers on earth to go faster. Buckle up!
This will never happen in Quebec.

Finally. The keep putting the speed limit down for years. Speed limits where higher in the 70s when cars were way bigger heavier and not the technology of today. Also some more millions to steal from replacing the signs. Isn’t that great for our government officials. Now when are they going to spend more millions to get rid of the stupid bike lanes for example Danforth avenue.
