Didn't many/most urban speed limits in Ontario recently change to
40km/hr?

Given traffic laws in Canada are a provincial and territorial matter, I have considered its usage questionable. Province-specific values, prefixed with CA-(province/territory name abbreviation) such as CA-ON:urban for an implied 50 km/h urban speed limit in Ontario better reflect the nature of Canadian traffic laws, but so far, their usage is dwarfed by the CA:-prefixed values.
