The Alberta government wants to know if drivers are okay with going faster on some highways.
Albertans have until Dec. 12 to weigh in on the idea of increasing speed limits on divided highways by 10 km/h.
A divided highway “is where the travel directions are separated, usually by a grass median, and there are two or more travel lanes in each direction,” the survey page says.
Speed limits on the following seven highways could increase:
- Highway 1 from Banff to the Saskatchewan border, approximately 400 kilometres (km),
- Highway 2 between Edmonton and Calgary and south (excluding Deerfoot Trail), approximately 400 km,
- Highway 3 (divided portions), approximately 80 km,
- Highway 4 from Lethbridge to the US Border, approximately 100 km,
- Highway 16 from Hinton to Lloydminster, approximately 500 km,
- Highway 63 from north of Highway 55 to Fort McMurray, and then north of Fort McMurray, approximately 270 km, and
- Highway 43 from west of Edmonton to Grande Prairie, approximately 400 km.
