110 km/h: Currently exists on two stretches of freeway as a part of a pilot project - probably the rarest limit in the province
Aren't there three?  Part of ON 417, part of ON 402, and part of the QEW?

Perhaps there's 3, I don't really follow news outside of the GTA area.

In Massachusetts, it's obviously 60.

It's also 60 in PA.  A few PennDOT districts will use it for construction zone speed limits where the speed limit is normally 70.  However, PA still refuses to use it as a conventional speed limit.

PA should bump urban areas up to 60. They bumped many rural areas to 70, it would make sense for there to be an interval of 10.

Well, in reality, first bump many of the exurban / suburban 55 mph zones to 65 mph. Then the more urban segments to 60 mph. Then anything left at 55 mph would be the most urban highways that truly cannot safely handle an increase.

Interesting. Here in WA, we increased all of our 55 freeway limits to 60 across the board in the late 90s (apart from very select segments), and just stopped there. Rural limits also went up by 5 (65 to 70), and again, stopped there.
