Traffic

The City works closely with our community to properly identify solutions to vehicle use in our streets that can adversely impact on the neighbourhood quality of life and safety towards residents and visitors.

Some of the key issues are:

  • Identify and target traffic and parking hot spots throughout the City;
  • Reduce the number and severity of accidents;
  • Improve safety and convenience for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users; and
  • Improve public transport.

All traffic concerns can be forwarded to the City via the Contact form below link.

Road Safety

The City of Nedlands’ Road Safety Management Plan 2026–2030 outlines how we will create a safer, more active and connected community. As a WALGA RoadWise Council, we follow a recognised framework that supports better practice in road safety and provides access to expert advice, resources, and funding opportunities.

Based on the 'Safe System' approach, the Plan focuses on designing a road network that reduces the risk of serious crashes and supports safer walking and cycling. It identifies local crash risks, sets priority areas, and includes a proactive Action Plan to guide improvements across the City.

Implementing the Plan will strengthen our road safety performance and help improve our RoadWise Recognised rating. RoadWise Advisors will also support the City in progressing actions and identifying eligible grant funding.

Note: Stirling Highway and West Coast Highway are not included, as they are managed by Main Roads WA.

Parking

Due to the City of Nedlands' close proximity to the Perth CBD, there is a strong demand for parking within the district. To ensure there is fair access to parking for residents and visitors, the City provides free unrestricted and timed parking in the majority of streets within the council area. 

If you are parked in a time-restricted area and your time has expired, you can move your car and park on a different street. Please note: vehicles must leave the area for at least two hours before returning to the same street. It is also an offence to remove chalk marks made by a Ranger on your tyre.
