Speed limit on 403 Brantford to increase this summer

HAMILTON – The Ontario government is raising the speed limit permanently from 100 km/h to 110 km/h on 10 additional sections of provincial highways in northern and southern Ontario, including the stretch from Woodstock to Hamilton. The change builds on the safe and successful increase to six sections of provincial highways in

2022 and aligns with posted speed limits in other jurisdictions across Canada.

“Most of Ontario’s highways were originally designed to safely accommodate speed limits of 110 km/h and the data from our changes in 2022 shows they do just that,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation

“These evidence-based increases are a common-sense change to make life more convenient for Ontario drivers while bringing our highway speed limits in line with other Canadian provinces.” The increased speed limit to 110 km/h on the 403 between Woodstock and Hamilton will start effective July 12, 2024.
