Nat Search: "55 km/h" >>> Most speed limits here are in multiples of 10, although on rare occasions I've seen 35 km/h (on an exit ramp near Vancouver International Airport, 45 km/h (also near YVR), and also on a construction zone at the Westview interchange, (where the last traffic light on the #1 freeway was removed earlier this year), 55 km/h (formerly on the Mount Seymour Parkway), and even 85 km/h, on the highway to the (soon to be abandoned) Cape Tormantine (sp?) ferry terminal in New Brunswick. >> > > 2002-11-03 > > That is strange, I never noticed it.
