As cities become bigger and busier, the speed of traffic is well known to have a significant impact on liveability, especially within our inner-city residential streets.

Reducing speed limits to 40km per hour (from 50km per hour) on local residential streets is part of a Perth Inner City Group joint proposal across the local governments of Subiaco, Cambridge, Perth, Vincent, South Perth and Victoria Park.

Local residential streets are where our community live, work, play and connect.

This initiative builds on a successful trial by the City of Vincent, which demonstrated that lower speeds reduced accident rates, encouraged walking and cycling, and improved community satisfaction with minimal impact on travel times.

The City of Subiaco has previously reduced speed limits in some areas with positive safety outcomes. The reduction to 30km per hour on Rokeby Road has resulted in an almost 50% reduction in reported accidents in that section.

Is there anything you want to tell us about your street as we roll out the 40km per hour speed limit reduction changes? We are collecting questions and feedback on this initiative to track community sentiment and site specific nuances.

Please let us know your questions and feedback and we will update the FAQs throughout the project. Closes Thursday 15 May 2025.
