What is the City's role in traffic safety?

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.

City of Kwinana's traffic calming measures

Traffic calming measures you may see around the City are:

  • Speed humps and cushions
  • Chicanes (narrowing of the road to slow traffic)
  • Raised pedestrian crossings
  • Road narrowing (kerb extensions)
  • Median islands

Safer Roads in Kwinana

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.

What we acheived in 2024/2025

Christmas Avenue, Orelia – Traffic Calming Project

We built new safety features after listening to community feedback and checking traffic data.

  • Average speeds dropped from 60 km/h to 42 km/h.
  • Traffic went down by 25–30%, helping reduce dangerous driving.
  • The street is now safer and more pleasant for locals and children walking to Orelia Primary School.
  • We received 70% support from residents, with no complaints after construction.
Speed Zone Review

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.

Children’s Crossings at Local Schools

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!

What’s Coming in 2025/2026

We’re not stopping there! In the next year, we’ll continue to improve safety in high-risk areas.

Upcoming Projects

  • New Roundabout: Building a roundabout at Henley Boulevard and Wellard Road to reduce crashes (Feb 2026).

  • Runnymede Gate, Bertram: Designing new traffic calming features to slow down cars.

  • New Children’s Crossing: Planning a Type-A crossing near Wellard Village Primary School on Lambeth Circle.
     

Other Safety Initiatives

  • Speed Radar Signs: We’re planning to add more signs that show your speed as you drive past.

  • Threshold Treatments: New intersection designs will remind drivers to slow down as they enter neighbourhoods.

  • Low-Cost Urban Road Safety Program: Working with Main Roads WA to add traffic calming in Bertram.

  • “Remember the 50km/h” Campaign: Reminding drivers to keep to the speed limit in built-up areas.

Secure PL8 Initiative

Secure PL8

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.

See when the next round of Secure PL8 starts
