Speed, following distance and driver signalsStandalone practice
An ordinary Ontario highway is outside every local municipality and outside a built-up area. No different speed limit has been set. What default maximum applies?
Correct answer: 80 km/h
Why
HTA section 128 sets an 80 km/h default for this specific location. It is not a rule that every rural-looking or unposted road has that limit. Other municipality, built-up-area, designated-road and lawfully set limits must be checked. Drive more slowly when conditions require it.
Verified against Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8 · Default speed outside municipalities
