Delawney Street Speed Limit

The preferred outcome of this petition is to amend the speed limit to 60km/per hour. 

Other suitable outcomes of this petition include:-

• Introducing a median strip and/or decreasing the width of the lanes
• Zebra crossing and/or a raised crossing platform near the Scouts Hall & Football Club
• Area activation including upgraded foot paths, an exercise circuit, more appealing vegetation, lighting and area focused signage (e.g. Welcome to Balcatta, This week’s football games etc)
• Painting the speed limit on the road after the Natalie Way T-junction heading west, and before the hill heading east.

Non-preferred outcomes of this petition include:-

• Adding speed humps, chicanes or rumble strips
• Lowering the speed limit.  

Common complaints eminating from Delawney Street, Balcatta, include:-

• The speed limit is too low
• The street feels like a 60km road, especially turning in from the commercial area which is 60km/per hour
• The speed limit and perceived speed limit do not match
• The signage on the street to identify the speed limit is inadequate
• The street itself has more potential than is being utilised.

Please note that the the goal of this petition is to receive at least 500 signatures supporting this request by 1 December 2020. This is a community driven initiative. The Balcatta Buzz, Councillors and the City of Stirling can assist to facilitate this change, however we only want change if the community deems it necessary.
