context_page_description: Canadian speed limits are set by different levels of government, depending on the jurisdiction under which the road falls, resulting in differences from province to province. The limits have been posted in kilometres per hour since September 1, 1977. Before then, when Canada used Imperial units, speed limits were in miles per hour.
