The Alberta Government has released an online survey to collect feedback on improving “driving experiences on provincial highways.”
The survey is centred around increasing speeds on various rural divided highways from 110 km/h to 120 km/h, including input on which highways where this would work best.
Outside of speed limits, it will also gather feedback on “restricting commercial trucks from using the far-left lane on highways with three or more lanes,” and other options that will improve drivers’ experiences, according to the province.
Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors Devin Dreeshen says the provincial government “is investing more than 1.5 billion dollars this year alone to improve highway safety and upgrade infrastructure. We want Albertans to be able to drive the speed limit that the highways are designed for.”
