If you've ever had hopes of a speed limit increase on the major highways, don't hold your breath. Ontario's Liberal government is rejecting calls to raise the speed limit on highways like the 401 and 403 that pass through Oxford County. The group stop100.ca wants the maximum speed on those highways increased to 120 or even 130 kilometres an hour, saying 100 km/h is one of the lowest speed limits in the world. However, Transportation Minister Bob Chiarelli says speed is a factor in 20 per cent of fatal crashes, so the province will not be increasing the highway speed limit. He says Ontario has the safest roads in North America and intends to keep that record by maintaining the current speed limits.
