(1) The proposed speed limit on the section of New Perth Bunbury Highway from Safety Bay Road to South Yunderup Road is 100km/h.
The proposed speed limit on the section of the New Perth Bunbury Highway south of South Yunderup Road, past Greenlands Road to Lake Clifton is 110km/h.
(2) The geometric road design speed for New Perth Bunbury Highway main carriageways is 110km/h. The pavement surfacing design on the section from Safety Bay Road to South Yunderup only allows for a safe speed of 100km/h.
(3) Speed limits are set by Main Roads WA taking into account road design standards, surfacing type, speed environment, traffic density and other road conditions affecting traffic safety. Speed limits will initially be set based on design criteria and then monitored and reviewed to assess traffic behaviour in relation to the speed environment.
