400 series highways in Ontario went from 110 to 100 - but people still go Warp 5
Same for Bangcouver. lol I think it's supposed to be a max of 110 for certain parts of the freeway but people do 140 and 150.
Wrong. It used to be 60 MPH before Turdeau dragged the metric system here. 60 MPH translates to 100 KMPH. Then it dropped to 80 KMPH unless otherwise posted. Read up on it.
yup, but juan said, take the incompetent ones off the road, how do they manage to do that unless
something awful happens, and that is too late, and often they aren't taken off the road till after
multiple incidents.
hey. I was in B.C. last summer anna.
I saw 100km/hr.
I also remember being in B.C. years ago and the speed limit read 90km/hr on the major highways.
the only places that were not 100 was the #5 except for the bad areas... or parks that were designated 90.
I also looked it up and it said that they had decided to up the HIGHWAY speed limits to 100 from 90
I can see that.........................but I doubt if the Civil Rights advocates could. :smile:
But it might give some people a longer life. :lol::lol::lol: Too much obsession with speed these days.
and the wrong answer you get when you ask people why you speed "cause I can" is a very selfish and immature answer. that's when you go, "so you don't want to live that much longer then?"
I don't really care what you have seen here. UNLESS OTHERWISE POSTED THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80 on highways. If it is posted 100, 110, 90, 45, etc. then that means it is "otherwise posted". Are you being obtuse on purpose?
Unless otherwise posted the speed limit is 40 KMPH in school zones here. If you see one that says more than that it is otherwise posted as being more than that.
ya I knew that all along, IM telling you that they said that Speed limits for HIGHWAYS can now be 100km/hr. meaning that they replaced the 90km/hr signs with 100km/hr signs!
it had nothing to do with the 80km unless posted issue.
You have a link from the BC gov't that says that, of course. Would you like to provide it, please?
oh and, for the record, it's 80km/hr unless posted here in Alberta too. but highway speed limits are 110km/hr. only some secondary highways are 100.
The whole idea behind the "otherwise posted" concept is that they don't have speed limits posted every 20 meters. You can go for kilometers without seeing one. You pull onto a highway just after the last posted limit and you have no idea what the speed limit is. So it's in the driver's manual that the rule of thumb speed limit is 80. So unless you see one that says otherwise, the speed limit on highways in BC is 80KMPH.
Provincial posted speed limits typically range from 30 km/h to 110 km/h. The limits are posted
in 10 km/h increments. Based on the field review and an analysis of 11,000 kilometers of
Provincial speed zones, speed limits are generally posted by road classification as shown in
Table 1. The speed limits are also comparable with speed limits posted on comparable roads in
other Canadian Provinces.

Provincial speed zones, speed limits are generally posted by road classification as shown in
Table 1. The speed limits are also comparable with speed limits posted on comparable roads in

[3] The survey also revealed that some Canadian respondents felt
that 120 km/h was an appropriate maximum limit for freeways.
It is important to note, however, that there is a difference in maximum posted speed limits
between British Columbia and other countries with similar terrain and environmental conditions.
Shown in Table 2 is a summary of posted speed limits by road class for 24 other countries. The
maximum speed limit on rural freeways ranges from a low of 70 km/h for a small car in Rumania
to 140 km/h for a large car in Italy. Speed limits greater than the current maximum limit of 110
km/h in British Columbia are found in 13 of the 24 countries. The most frequently occurring
upper speed limit is 120 km/h.
Based on the assessment, issues with the current Ministry practices include the 110 km/h
maximum limit, and the transition zone guidelines. Consideration should be given to
establishing a new maximum speed limit for freeways and other limited access highways. Also,
new general limits should be established for roads in adverse mountainous terrain.
Consideration should also be given to providing advisory night speed limits in selected areas
with frequent wildlife incidents. These items are discussed in a subsequent section of this
report.

it shows on page 17 the current limits.
That's fine and dandy. But like I said, if you don't know the speed limit on highways here because you hadn't seen a posted limit before, the friggin speed is 80, dough-head.
The maximum speed limit is 80 unless otherwise posted. :tard:
That list should be used as a guide for ideal conditions. Common sense is more important than any list when conditions (weather, vehicle, driver, traffic, visibility etc.) are less than ideal.
