Vehicle insurance companies are going to keep a close watch on whether the Alberta government keeps driving forward with a proposal to increase some highway speed limits to 120 km/h. The province has launched an online survey about increasing the speed limit on upwards of 2,150 kilometres of divided highways in different parts of Alberta. The survey also asks which of the highways should be prioritized for faster speeds. The government plans to begin a trial after the survey closes on Dec. 12.
