Alberta Raises Highway Speed Limit to 120 km/h

About this episode

Alberta has raised the highway speed limit to 120 km/h on Highway 2 following public support, despite safety concerns from critics.

Starting Wednesday, drivers on a stretch of Albertas Highway 2 can legally drive up to 120 km/h, following a public survey where 70% supported the speed increase. The pilot project aims to reduce tickets for exceeding the old limit, but critics like John Morrall warn of safety concerns due to rough pavement and at-grade intersections. Minister Devin Dreeshen will launch the project, and local drivers are cautiously optimistic. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
