Road Signs
Outside Ontario cities, towns and villages where no speed-limit sign is posted, what is the maximum legal speed?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C. 80 km/h
The rural (unposted, outside built-up areas) default is 80 km/h. On rural two-lane highways this balances travel efficiency against stopping distance, wildlife hazards, and the limited sightlines typical of non-freeway country roads.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.50 km/h50 km/h is the default within cities, towns and villages, not rural unposted areas.
- B.60 km/h60 km/h is not Ontario's default speed anywhere — it is only in effect when a sign explicitly posts it.
- D.100 km/h100 km/h is the maximum posted speed on 400-series freeways; it is not the default for unposted rural roads without a posted sign.
