Drivers in Ottawa, starting Friday, August 21st, can hit the gas a bit harder—speed limits on key stretches of Highway 4-16 and 4-17 are jumping to 110 km/h. This is part of Ontario’s big push to raise speed limits across its highways, with more changes coming August 31st. The upgrade covers specific zones: Highway 4-17 from the 4-16 interchange west to Hwy 7, and east to Hwy 1-74; Highway 4-16 from Fallowfield Road south to just before the 4-17 junction. Officials say most freeways were designed for 110 km/h, and this change could shave nearly 30 minutes off trips like Toronto-Ottawa. By September’s end, 89% of Ontario’s highway system will be at 110 km/h. Buckle up—and watch for the new signs.
