Speed Limits in Canada

One of the really great things about visiting Vancouver Island is the speed limits. On the Island Highway between Campbell River and Nanaimo, posted speed limit is 120. Wow! Max speed limit in the states is 75mph, sometimes 80.

  • When I crossed into the US on my way back from Alaska, I forgot to convert back to miles and was rather surprised to see the distance to the nearest town. I then realized I was looking at miles not km, but it took awhile to adjust.
