Speed limits in Canada
Canada is often considered one of the most beautiful places in the world to drive. The country is home to various roads, ranging from single-lane highways to twisty mountain passes. This means there are many conditions for driving in Canada, and each will require different speed limits. Road conditions such as surface quality, weather, and time of day affect how fast you can safely drive.
Speed limits in Canada vary by province. Speed limits can be as low as 30 km/h in Quebec or as high as 110km in Alberta. British Columbia’s speed limit is 60 km/h unless otherwise posted. Quebec is the only province where municipalities can establish speed limits by posting signs along main routes.
Canada has various driving conditions, meaning the speed limits vary accordingly. For example, in densely populated areas like Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto, the speed limit is 50 km/h. In these cities, pedestrians and cyclists can often be on the streets. Other places where pedestrians are present have lower speed limits.
You should always obey these signs if they are posted.
