driving advice for the great southern
Driving in the Great Southern is easy, as there’s plenty of open road and little traffic. You do need to keep alert though, as you’re driving on country roads, and often for long stretches at a time. Remember these simple guidelines to ensure a safe trip:
- Vehicles are not the only road users in the Great Southern.
- Try to avoid travel at dawn and dusk as this is when wildlife is most active.
- If you see an animal on the road in front of you brake firmly in a straight line and sound your horn. Do not swerve as it is safer to stay on the road.
- The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for driving in Australia is 0.05.
- If you’re planning to sample wines, beers or liquor, be sure to nominate a Designated Driver.
- The maximum speed limit in WA is 110 kilometres per hour with a maximum of 50 kilometres per hour in built-up areas such as towns and estates
