MetroMPG · 05-10-2019, 05:32 PM

Ontario's current maximum freeway speed is 100 km/h (62 mph).

The 2-year pilot project will increase the limit to 110 km/h (68 mph) on several sections of our 400-series freeways.

Ontarians now find themselves in a position where they're complaining about fuel costs AND celebrating the ability to drive faster on the highway!

Cognitive dissonance, anyone?
