What is driving like in Western Australia?

Make sure to always give way to the right at roundabouts and proceed with caution. When driving in zones that have high levels of pedestrian activity then expect a speed limit of 40kmh (25mph) or in rural areas a maximum of 100kmh (62mph.) A passenger must always drive appropriately and drive at a speed that is appropriate with the road conditions as the limit of speed is not always signposted.
