This is asking for it.
I do disagree on the bold'd part with BC being so much better on speed limits. Passing lanes should be 110-120 km/hr, so that smaller vehicles could pass large semis and motor-homes cruising at 90. Having that 90 km/hr limit on passing lanes serves only one purpose - to get as many tickets as possible on any given long-weekend. Also, the large vehicles should be required to stay in the right lane and let others pass. I recall driving in Washington south of Seattle where the road had pockets requiring slower vehicles to move to and allow others to pass if there are more than 2 vehicles closely behind them. That was a really sensible thing to do and I wish we had something similar.
Also, for the n-th time, it is a national shame to have our only coast-to-coast highway not widened to 4-lanes all the way.

They had to blow up mountains to get four lanes. It’s more complicated than you think.
