WA’s proposed speed limit trial would affect around 1800 roads

A proposed three-year trial would test the impact of reduced speed limits across the Busselton and Augusta Margaret River regions in Western Australia.

The Safer Speeds Trial is proposed to commence in early 2025, under a partnership between City of Busselton, Shire of Augusta Margaret River and RAC, with support from Main Roads WA.

The trial would see a consistent reduction of speed limits across similar road types, with approximately 1800 roads affected – around 550 roads in the Shire of Augusta Margaret River and 1250 roads in the City of Busselton.

Between 2019 and 2023, 195 people were killed or seriously injured on roads in the two regions, which represents one of the highest figures in regional WA.

The trial aims to improve road safety and reduce the instance of speed related fatalities or serious injuries.
