FREE SEMINAR! How the City of Vincent made their local streets safer

Join us for a National Road Safety Week seminar to hear directly from City of Vincent CEO David MacLennan about why the City of Vincent reduced the speed limit on their local streets, how they did it, and what the feedback has been.

In response to community requests for safer streets, the City of Vincent recently succeeded in permanently reducing the speed limit on their local access roads to 40km/h. Work is now underway to implement the change, which won’t affect distributor roads or main corridors.

The new speed limit is expected to reduce rat running and make residential neighbourhoods safer and more welcoming. Slower speeds also encourage more walking and cycling for short trips and will enable kids to walk or ride to school or the local park more safely.

Join the conversation online or in person.

City of Vincent Function Room, 222 Vincent Street Leederville
Please arrive at 10.45am for an 11am start.

This is a free event, but registration is required (https://tinyurl.com/westcycle2024NRSWseminar).
