Formerly, British Columbia's Okanagan Connector and Highway 19 also possessed 120 km/h limits, but were reduced to 110 km/h in 2018 to address an increase in collisions. The highest speed limit in Canada is found on British Columbia's Coquihalla Highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h (75 mph). Statutory speed limits for school zones tend to be 30 or 40 km/h (19 or 25 mph) in urban areas and 50 km/h in rural areas. There is no statutory speed limit for grade-separated freeways however the typical speed limit in most provinces is 100 km/h (62 mph) or 110 km/h (68 mph). In most provinces and territories, statutory speed limits are 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas, 80 km/h (50 mph) in rural areas. Posted speed limits may differ significantly from the statutory speed limit. They apply on roads which do not have posted speed limits. Statutory speed limits are default speed limits set by statute in each province or territory. Before then, when Canada used Imperial units, speed limits were in miles per hour (mph). The limits have been posted in kilometres per hour (km/h) since September 1, 1977. Canadian speed limits are set by different levels of government (federal, provincial, and municipal), depending on the jurisdiction under which the road falls, resulting in differences from province to province. ![]()
