Speed Limits
Speeding is still a major factor contributing to traffic deaths. Here's a look at some speed limits that may not be posted, but are definitely enforced.
In the city, you should travel at no more than 50 km/h unless the limit is posted higher. In some cases, that could be as high as 80 km/h. On the highway, it's 90 unless otherwise posted.
However, these speed limits are intended for ideal conditions. Always lower your speed in bad weather or poor road conditions.
The 30 km/h limit isn't usually posted in back lanes, and parking lots don't often advertise a maximum speed. However, the law says any speed that endangers people, property or safety is prohibited.
School zones also fall into that category. When kids are on or near the roadway, the law says a driver must use a speed that is reasonable and prudent for the conditions. This means always keep the safety of others in mind when driving.
