Petition addressed to: The City of Fremantle Council and Local Traffic Management Committee who can assess and implement relevant traffic calming measures

We are asking the City of Fremantle to implement effective traffic calming measures along Hope Street to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, and families.
We request that the council explore the possibilities which include:

  • Add clear signage and road markings to remind drivers to slow down
  • Explore additional design solutions such as chicanes, narrowed lanes, or planter boxes to naturally reduce speed

These measures are widely used in residential areas to calm traffic and protect communities. We want Hope Street to be a safer, slower, and more people-friendly place, not a shortcut for speeding vehicles.

Reason

Hope Street is a vibrant, residential area where families, children, and locals walk, cycle, and cross daily. But traffic is moving too fast and it’s putting lives at risk. This petition calls for sensible traffic calming measures to make our street safer for everyone.
Please sign if you share our concerns and want a safer Hope Street.

Thank you so much for your support, 'Go-Slow' Hope St White Gum Valley, White Gum Valley WA

  • Hi there!
    I wanted to let you know the petition was handed in a few weeks ago and we're waiting on Fremantle Council to decide on next steps (which I was assured they will do!!) I'll keep you in the loop and let you know what the outcome is. Thanks again for all your support.
