Like in Canada the speed limit is 100 km/h on single lane highways and 110 km/h on double. Or does it assume you're doing 100 km/h the whole way?

i know for me personally i dont ever base my trip by what google maps or mapquest or any of the map sites tell me. as far as driving time. take into consideration what time of the day youll be driving. what weather conditions youll be driving in. if your going to making any stops, etc. i would assume it baded on the slowest of the slowest drivers. i just used mapquest yesterday, it said i had an hour and 35 min trip ahead of me. i was there in under an hour. i left my house at 630 am and was there in about 45 min. mostly highway travel, but still. and even though it was a saturday and early morning driving, the same trip at 430 during the week would have taken me more than 2 or 2.5 hours. so there are alot of factors that come into play. just do alittle thinking before you drive and youll be fine

Google maps does use speed limits when that data is known. Otherwise, it uses the standard in the area for highway driving. Always allow at least an extra 10% driving time.

Yes it assumes the speed limit for that given road (and usually takes into account how many traffic lights on that road, if applicable).
