Question: The default speed limit on numbered highways (autoroutes) in Quebec is:

Answer options:

  • 90 km/h ✅ 100 km/h
  • 110 km/h
  • 120 km/h

Correct answer: 100 km/h

Explanation: The Quebec Highway Safety Code establishes the default speed limit on autoroutes at 100 km/h. This standard applies unless signs indicate a lower limit, such as in construction zones. The incorrect option of 90 km/h typically applies to numbered rural highways, whereas 110 km/h and 120 km/h are incorrect because Quebec does not legally permit these higher speeds as default limits. On the SAAQ theory exam, knowing default speed limits for residential, rural, and highway zones is highly relevant, as drivers are expected to know the statutory speed limits even when there are no signs posted.
