The Ontario government is considering increasing provincial highway speed limits after reviewing the current legislation and consulting with the public, Transportation Minister Jeff Yurek said.

“We’re looking at doing a couple of pilot projects at different speed limits and then having the full consultation to make sure that’s the path Ontarians want to go,” Yurek told reporters Wednesday, according to the Toronto Sun.
