The speed limits on some multi-lane highways in B.C. are going up to 120 kilometres per hour, Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced on Wednesday morning in Kamloops.
The new speed limit is effect on:
- Highway 5 (the Coquihalla) from Hope to Kamloops
- Highway 97C (the Connector) from Aspen Grove to Drought Hill Interchange, Peachland.
- Highway 19 (the Island Highway) from Parksville to south of Willis Road, Campbell River.
Stone first announced he was reviewing speed limits on some rural highways last October.
