A speed limit is a maximum allowed velocity for a particular roadway. It is enforceable in Canada on all motor vehicles, including motorbikes, and bicycles. If a pedestrian could exceed the speed limit, they also could possibly be cited. If a particular mode of transportation can not meet or exceed the posted limit, it would be up to the user to factor that into their estimated time enroute. If a mode of transport can only reach a maximum speed of 80 km/h, any speed limits below 80 km/h would still be of concern to the calculations of time enroute for that vehicle.
