![The Wrong Way to Set Speed Limits [ST06]](/img/n.gif)
Alberta has this and its fine
2 benefits:
No more tickets while doing 126-130km/hr
License won’t be suspended until you hit 160km/hr.
Which is more reasonable. Many of us have hit 150 on a wide open road accidentally -not what I would consider a reason for a 30 day suspension.
A hefty ticket is all now.
+160? Ya…hand over the license
Usually stunt driving is 40km/h over then
@@uhhTabby stunt diving is 40km/hr over for roadless than 80km/h
And 50km for freeways
That was changed approx a year ago yes
@@Danomite99 they announced 150km/h will still be the threshold for stunt driving in the 110km/h zones
@@ansen7738 oh, didn’t see that.
So 40k over for anything under 80km/hr posted speed
50k over 80-100km/hr
40km over in 110km posted speed.
I love how simple the government rule making is. 👌
You really should learn the law!
So basically they’re going to spend a bunch of money for signage and everyone will still go 130 😂
Always doing 120-130 now I don’t have to worry anymore
Now we get to see more family cars and smart cars pushed to the limits and more tow trucks to tow them when their engines blow up.
You obviously know nothing about cars!
I didn’t know anyone actually drives 100 km on the 401
The cars are more capable of higher speeds, the drivers are questionable.
Fun facts: Here in Germany over two thirds of the highway network has no speed limit, at all. The average speed in the left lane is 150 mph.
However, compared to the 4.5 fatalities per billion km travelled on the US interstate, the autobahn has just 2.7 fatalities for the same distance.
The roads need to be/are in perfect condition and drivers have to take more lessons from professional instructors.
Also, less than 10% of fatal road collisions in Germany take place on the highways ("Autobahn"I, with the majority happening on country and inner cities roads...
Greetings from Germany
They should start ticket people who drives 80km/hr on the left lane on highways!
Welcome to the present. Major highways in Saskatchewan have had this for a decade now LOL
110 in boring, wide, no traffic, and straight roads is just pathetic. Should be like 150.
Faster is better. Much better…
Once you get past Oshawa going east on the 401 the unofficial speed ramge is between 110 and 130 km .
It just is , everyone who drives it knows this including the OPP . They will pull you over when they are on an enforcement blitz or you are doing dangerous lane changes . Otherwise they are doing the same speed .
Its game we all play
Anyone that doesn't like it, must hate going to New York State where the speed limit is 65mph or 105KMH. Now it's 110KMH (68MPH) instead of 100KMH (62MPH). The speed limit in the 70s was 70MPH (113KMH)
We have finally joined the rest of the world!
Chicago is 88 km/h (rounding it to 90 km/h) 55 mph within city limits and suburbs.
The areas being increased have no geographical equivalence to Chicago . There is zero correlation
You forgot to say ......our honest thoughts....like you always say ! And sid rides is pink bike on the bike lanes
Slow drivers who block right lanes needs to be fine every hwy in ontario people drive less than the speed limits even the hwy is empty trust me
People drive higher than the speed limits anyway. And to be honest, Europe's speed limits are 140-ish on the highways. It's all about driving safely and responsibly of course, more than it is about speed.
A speed limit buff on Ontario's highways from 100 to 110? How surprising! If that will affect on 36% of those highways, it would be best some rural areas will have a speed limit buff. As for urban areas, they must remain 100 or less.
I have been so used to driving at 100 km/h or less throughout my life because I’ve only ever driven on roads in Ontario and Southwestern Quebec. It hasn’t been easy to keep a speedometer at 100 or less but has been doable.
It’d be nice to believe that increasing freeway speed limits in urban areas to above 100 would work wonders but traffic has often, during daylight hours, been so bad on the 401 that getting up to 90 can be a struggle at times.
Raising the speed limit still isn't going to stop idiots from stunt driving and continue to treat highways like they're race tracks.
Welcome to 2024. Sheesh. You can drive 70 in most U.S. States these days.
Start enforcing left lane Bandits laws and get clueless drivers off the road 🚨🚔
Maybe if the drivers and cars could handle it .I work in both industries and know they can't .we know now they will drive 120 and more
Off topic, I live in the USA I feel very sorry for you that you are no longer able to buy handguns.....
Very off topic. We haven’t been able to buy handguns for a very long time. Most people don’t really care lol
Yeah. It's tough to protect yourself.
Really thats what Ontario needs raise the speed limit on Highways !
People have problems merging with traffice never mind drive a minimum speed limit!
Dumbest idea to campare Ontario highways to NS NB AB BC!! Where there traffic voloume is no where close to a normal day on the 401.
Responsible really thats another issue that creates another deadly problem
What's with only partial sections getting the higher speed limit? Put the speed limit up on all 400 highways, period. 110kph is still too low, but it's a step in the right direction. Canada is the second largest landmass and we should have speed limits in proportion to the the distances we need to travel.
Everyone breaks the limits already and are such bad drivers it really doesn't matter. They be going at 135 now
that woman needs to raise her diet
Ford looking for votes again lol
He got paper bags reversed at LCBO when most other major retailers and grocery stores are moving toward bagless. The only places giving out plastic bags are small businesses with existing inventory. And only places giving out paper bags are clothing retailers using the bag as free marketing.😂😂
It’s not the speed limit, it’s too many on cell phones watching stupid videos.
What about the climate change WEF hoax? Won’t that increase carbon footprint prints 😢😂
