The Ontario regulation remains 50 km/h within a built-up area: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90h08#BK219 , however municipalities can set different limits (lower or higher) and many do.
The table in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_Canada looks a mess, I don't know if StreetComplete wants to add all these categories. There's also a quite long disclaimer in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed:type#Canada for `CA:urban`. Personally I think StreetComplete should be setting maxspeed:type in Canada as only `sign` and `CA-XX:urban` (as the rural limits vary too much depending on type of road) and even that should exclude some provinces (e.g. Saskatchewan apparently doesn't have a backstop urban limit if not posted?). --Jarek On Wed, 7 May 2025, at 10:17, [email protected] wrote: > Didn't many/most urban speed limits in Ontario recently change to 40km/hr? > > On 2025-05-07 05:44, Jherome Miguel wrote: > >> Just stumbled upon this >> maxspeed:type= tag value, CA:urban from a search for tag values for that tag >> applicable to Canada.
