Ontario is raising speed limits to 110 km/h on an additional 938 kilometres of provincial highways, including sections of Highways 401 and 416, starting June 26th.

Ontario is increasing speed limits to 110 km/h on an additional 938 kilometres of provincial highways, including parts of Highways 401 and 416 in eastern Ontario, starting June 26th.

Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria says the change is intended to improve travel times while maintaining safety. The province says the increases will only apply to highway sections that have passed technical safety reviews.

Once fully implemented, about 89 per cent of Ontario’s highway network will have a 110 km/h limit, up from 43 per cent.

The first changes take effect June 26, with more sections of the 400-series highways expected to follow through the summer.
