Ontario Premier Doug Ford says speed limits will be increased to 110 kilometres per hour on 400-series highways across Ontario in a bid to reduce travel times on the often-congested roads.

Ford said he has asked Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria to raise the speed limit by 10 kilometres on all 400-series highways “where it is safe to do so.”
