A major section of road into the City of Fremantle will have its speed limit permanently cut from 70kph to 60kph from October 24.

Main Roads has advised that the westbound and eastbound lanes of South Street, in Hilton, will have the reduced speed limit between Stock Road in the east and Hines Road in the west.

Hines Road is where the ‘Hilton Village’ shopping area, and current 60kph zone starts.

The change means busy South Street will now have a 60kph limit for the four-kilometre length between Stock Road and South Street’s terminus at Marine Terrace in South Fremantle.
