Alberta Tests 120km/h Speed Limit on Key Highway

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Alberta drivers could soon experience faster travel on a key highway segment. The province is launching a pilot project to increase the speed limit to 120 km/h on a stretch of the Queen Elizabeth II Highway south of Leduc, the busiest route in the province. This move is based on a survey where over 70% of respondents supported higher speeds on rural divided highways. However, the opposition New Democratic Party criticizes the plan as a distraction from more pressing issues. The pilot project could pave the way for permanent speed limit increases on other major highways if successful.
