In July 2024, 12 provincial highway sections, including two trial sections in northern Ontario, had their speed limit permanently increased to 110 km/hour.
The Ontario government is raising the speed limit from 100 km/hour to 110 km/hour on an additional 938 kilometres of provincial highways.
The change builds on the safe and successful increase to speeds on 10 sections of provincial highways in 2024 and six sections of provincial highways in 2022, aligning with posted speed limits in other jurisdictions across Canada.
Starting June 26, 2026, the Ontario government will permanently increase the posted speed limit to 110 km/hour on the following sections of provincial highways:
- Highway 401 from Highway 15 to Highway 16
