This one I think just adds snow plows that are parked and maintenance vehicles.

This has always been the problem, there is inconsistency in the laws between provinces and even within Alberta many people did not know what the rules were. I agree it makes sense as Alberta is more aligned (still variances from province to province) so should make it easier. It was dangerous before when people would slow in all lanes and others would not, causing a large speed discrepancy.
Anyhow there are still some significant differences between the provinces, I wish they would all get on board and be the same:
Saskatchewan:
60 km/h all lanes (unless divided highway).
Manitoba:
60 km/h and MUST move over one lane
BC:
70 km/h and MUST move over one lane
