Speed-limit Increase on Part of Trans-Canada Hwy

Written By Stacey

The speed limit will be raise from 100 km/h to 110 km/h on parts of the Trans-Canada and Hwy 75 which takes us into the states through the Pembina border crossing.

Excited? I’m not. Maybe it’s because I don’t drive anymore, but even if I did, I’d rather the government fix our infrastructure so I would feel safe driving more than 100 km/h on our highways.

Also, with everyone whining about the cost of gas — it uses more gas to drive at 110 than it does to drive at 90 km/h.

    Well, what this means is that instead of people going 120 on the highway and getting busted for going 20 over the limit, they will now be going 130 and STILL getting busted for going 20 over the limit however (and I will bet money on this) cops will now bust you for going less over the limit than when they did before.

    This would mean, that if normally they have a 15-20 km window over the limit before they pull you over, it will now be a 10-15 km window. I’m certain this is how it will happen.

    Oh, and one more thing Stace.

    It’s a maximum. If you (or anyone else) wants to go 100 or even 90, then it’s fine … just stay outta my way! ;)
