Info

Traffic direction signs PROCEED IN DIRECTION OF ARROW ONLY: TWO WAY TRAFFIC: Unless otherwise posted: • 100 km/h is the maximum speed limit on a provincial highway located outside an urban area. • 80 km/h is the maximum speed limit on a provincial highway located inside a corporate limit of a city. • 80 km/h is the maximum speed limit on a roadway that is located outside an urban area. DIVIDER AHEAD – KEEP RIGHT: A provincial highway is identified by either a single-digit, two-digit or three-digit highway route marker. Speed limit signs Speed limits do not indicate the maximum speed drivers should travel. They are the maximum speed permitted when conditions are ideal. Any speed that is unsafe for the current conditions is illegal. A local road generally would not have a route marker but could be identified by a name, such as Irricana Road, a township road, such as TWP RD 52, or a range road, such as RGE RD 252. • 50 km/h is the maximum speed limit on a roadway that is located within an urban area. Speed limit signs are in kilometres per hour (km/h). CHAPTER TWO TRAFFIC CONTROL 27
