Community Consultation – Hamel Area Speed Zoning
Following the Shire’s application to Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) for a speed zoning review of James Road, Hamel, the Shire has received advice that an area-wide speed zoning may be considered for Hamel and the surrounding locality.
MRWA has indicated that a proposed area-wide speed limit of either 60 km/h or 70 km/h could be investigated. Rather than applying a speed limit to James Road in isolation, this approach would consider a broader network of roads throughout the Hamel townsite and surrounding area.
The roads being considered include:

Have Your Say
Should the Shire wish to progress a formal speed zoning application, additional traffic counts will be required across the identified road network. This data collection will take some time to complete.
In the meantime, the Shire is seeking feedback from residents and road users to help inform and support the proposed speed zoning review.
Community feedback is encouraged, particularly regarding current traffic conditions, road safety concerns and whether a consistent speed limit across the Hamel area would be supported.
