The speed limit varies throughout the province. It is posted after intersections though. Yes, the OPP are ticket happy and will ticket any traffic offenders no matter where they’re from.
100 km/hr. If your caught going over 120km/hr they will take away your car for a week and fine you. Police are really cracking down on speeders cause the roads are becoming more dangerous
The speed limit is 100 km/h or 62 mph on the major highways in Ontario.I don’t think the cops LIKE to give tickets to tourists from the US lol if you really don’t want a ticket don’t do the things that get you ticketed :p

On the 400 series highways, its 100kmph, but on the 11, 66 and 17 (all still main highways) its 90 in most places, 80 in others. Mainly because much of those highways are still only one lane either direction, with alternating passing lanes.
And, as another poster already mentioned, the OPP are cracking down on speeders (as they should) and will ticket anyone speeding regardless of your nationality. Especially with the implementation of the Stunt Driving Law, two July’s ago. If you are caught going 50 or more kilometres over the posted limit, your car is immediately impounded for seven days, and be prepared to pay upwards of $1000 in fines, and the impound fee, before you may pick up your vehicle. And a nice court date as well.
I know that New York and Michigan have reciprocal agreements with Ontario and a ticket here counts against you in those states. I don’t know about other states.
The speed limits are posted in KPH, 100 kph is about 60 MPH. If you stick to about 115kph on the 400 series highways you most likely won’t get ticketed unless you are doing something stupid. Try to keep the speed under 120 kph (70mph) on the 400 highways you’ll still be making good time but generally speaking under the OPP threshold for tickets. The threshold is usually about 10 – 20 over the limit depending on where you are speeding.
400 highways = 100 kph
other highways = 80 or 90 kph as posted
built up areas = 60 or 70 kph as posted
towns/cities = generally 50 kph or as posted
