On the Queensway they drive 80-110 km's/hr, but on the secondary/side streets, everyone is doing 70-80 in 50 zones.

I generally drive 120 on the 417, even across town.  I feel kinda guilty passing everone, with a "Baby on Board" sign in the back window...lol

I will agree that while the traffic here isn't the best, it is most certainly better than the GTA or Montreal.  Except for when the OC transpo goes on strike at christmas, and there's already 2-3 feet of snow on the roads, and one of the bridges over to Gatineau is closed...then life in Ottawa is grand...lol

And heaven forbid it actually rain. When it rains the speed on the queensway drops to about 80...... and that is the left lane !!!
