Source: West AustralianSpeed limits in parts of Fremantle could fall to as low as 10km/h and walkers could be encouraged to share the road with motorists under plans to make pedestrians king in the port city.
Motorists have been warned to expect a "slower, less free-flowing way through the central city in the future" as part of an ambitious City of Fremantle draft transport strategy.
On-street parking could also be reclaimed in favour of wider footpaths or green space and developers encouraged to build "car-free" homes.
The long-term strategy is underpinned by the desire to move away from cars as the dominant form of transport, instead prioritising pedestrians, cyclists and public transport - in that order.
