Divided highway speed limit increase engagement

Albertans had the opportunity to share their views on possible speed limit increases on divided highways.

Overview

Alberta's government gathered input on whether to raise speed limits on divided highways in Alberta. We asked how Albertans feel about raising highway speed limits on divided highways by 10 km/h. 

We sought Albertan’s opinions on travel time savings, if speed limit increases would improve people’s driving experiences and what people like about increasing speed limits.

Get informed

Alberta’s provincial highway network includes over 64,000 lane kilometers (km) of paved highways, of which approximately 11,700 lane km are divided.

Mini trial

Following a full review of the survey results, Alberta’s government will launch a controlled 120 km/h mini-trial, paired with strong monitoring and safety evaluation. This approach ensures that any future decisions are based on real-world data, local feedback and a clear commitment to keeping our roads safe.
