We should take our lead from Montana and eliminate speed limits on four lane divided highways.

Mr. IP should stay more current, the 'reasonable and prudent' went out four years ago. The speed limit on interstate highways is 75 mph in most places, less than most people drive on Hwy 2 here. This is the link.

Yup. They have several -very- big signs at the border so people can't say "but i thought there was no limit".

I just drove through Montana and strangely enough most people go less than 75 mph.

First, we'd better stiffen our driver requirements. We've still got a lot of very stupid drivers in the USA! I suspect Canada also!

Fixed speed limits were reinstated in Montana a few years ago, although it did work well. I will say thought that as someone who has driven to Las Vegas 10-15 times that there are vast differences between Alberta Roads and Montana roads. I drove down just a few weeks ago and their roads appeared in much better condition and the traffic was far less then here in Alberta. I think that putting our limits up to 120 would be a good start to come in line with most US highways.
