Any complaints around vehicles observed driving on street, road way footpath area and verge areas in a dangerous way or manner are a WA Police Responsibility. Click here for more information regarding reporting to the police.
One means deployed by the City’s Engineering Team are traffic calming measures which are designed to force vehicles to slow down, improve traffic flow, and enhance road safety for all users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
These measures are informed by traffic data collection. The City captures characteristics such as vehicle speed, traffic volume, and vehicle classification to support decision-making. As a result, measures are often implemented in residential areas, school zones, and high-traffic intersections to reduce the risk of accidents and improve liveability.
Please note the City of Kwinana Ranger service vehicles can only deal with abandoned cars on land owned or managed by the City.
Traffic calming measures you may see around the City are:
Many people in our community have told us they’re worried about careless and dangerous driving on our roads. This kind of driving happens when people ignore the road rules, putting themselves and others in danger.
To make our roads safer, the City of Kwinana is working with the community and WA Police to tackle this issue in several ways:
Education and Awareness: We work together to teach people about safe driving and how to make better choices on the road.
Enforcement: WA Police make sure drivers follow the road rules.
Community Reporting: If you see someone driving dangerously, you can report it to WA Police to help keep everyone safe.
Our Engineering Services team also helps improve road safety by checking vehicle speeds around Kwinana. If cars are going too fast in certain areas, we work with Main Roads WA to change speed limits or put up new signs.
When we find spots where speeding or unsafe driving happens a lot, we look at ways to redesign the road. This might include adding speed bumps, roundabouts, better signs, or clearer road markings to remind people to slow down and drive safely.
We built new safety features after listening to community feedback and checking traffic data.
We worked with Main Roads WA to lower speed limits on over 20 kilometres of local roads. New signs were installed on roads like De Haer Road, Anketell Road, Orton Road, and Mortimer Road to help drivers stay at safe speeds.
Many crashes happen near schools during busy times. To protect children, we worked with Honeywood Primary School and Wellard Primary School, along with Main Roads WA and WA Police, to create two new Type-A Children’s Crossings. These crossings now help over 1,000 students and parents get to school safely every day.
Safety Tip: If a car drives just 5 km/h slower, a pedestrian is 32% more likely to survive a crash — and in some cases, wouldn’t be hit at all! (Source: Office of Road Safety)
We’re not stopping there! In the next year, we’ll continue to improve safety in high-risk areas.

Secure PL8 is a joint initiative by WA Police and the City of Kwinana, supported by Neighbourhood Watch. It provides complimentary anti-theft screws and access to tools, helping the community make their number plates harder to steal and use illegally.
Stolen number plates can be a major inconvenience. Beyond the risk of your plates being used for criminal activity, replacing them also involves paperwork and potential fees. Lost or stolen state, district, or seasonal licence plates cannot be remade.
