Road safety advocacy groups say Ontario’s highways may be built for higher speeds, but drivers must be willing to obey limits that are set to increase.
Franca Pisani knows all too well what can happen when the rules of the road aren’t followed. In 2024, her friend’s 23-year-old daughter was killed when a transport truck ran a red light and crashed into her vehicle in Bolton.
That prompted Pisani to co-found the Caledon Community Road Safety Advocacy Group along with Amanda Corbett and Carmella Palkowski.
By the end of this summer, Ontario Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria said that the speed limit on nearly 1,000 km of provincial highways will increase from 100 km/h to 110 km/h. This has the group concerned.
