The provincial government is officially raising speed limits from 100 km/h to 110 km/h across a massive portion of the highway network.
省政府正正式將大範圍公路網的速限從時速100公里提高至110公里。
By the end of September 2026, nearly 89% of Ontario's provincial highways will feature this higher limit, up from just 43% previously.
到2026年9月底，安大略省將近89%的省道將採用此較高的速限，相較於先前的43%大幅提升。
Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria notes that these highways were originally built to accommodate higher speeds safely, with modern engineering standards supporting the transition.
交通廳長薩卡里亞(Prabmeet Sarkaria)指出，這些公路當初興建時即是為了安全容納較高時速，且現代工程標準也足以支援此項轉變。
The goal is to improve efficiency for commuters and commercial transport, potentially saving drivers significant time on long trips.
其目標是提升通勤者與商業運輸的效率，可能為長途駕駛節省大量時間。
For instance, travel between Toronto and Ottawa could be shortened by about 30 minutes.

While the move aligns Ontario with other provinces, it has sparked debate.
儘管此舉使安大略省與其他省份接軌，但也引發了爭議。
