Safer Speeds Trial

We are proposing to test a new approach to reducing speed limits across the Shire of Augusta Margaret River and City of Busselton. We are seeking feedback to help understand if there is community support for a reduction in speed limits through the Safer Speeds Trial.

What is the Safer Speeds Trial?

The Safer Speeds Trial aims to assess the impact of reducing speed limits on roads managed by local governments, specifically within parts of the City of Busselton and Shire of Augusta Margaret River.

The Trial will use a holistic, area-wide approach, which means there will be a consistent reduction of speed limits across similar road types in selected areas between Busselton and Augusta. Approximately 550 roads in the Shire of Augusta Margaret River and 1,250 roads in the City of Busselton will be affected.

The Trial is the first of its kind in WA and is a partnership between the City of Busselton, Shire of Augusta Margaret River and RAC with implementation support from Main Roads WA.
