THE State Government is looking to trial a new bike plan for Perth that would allow cyclists to have priority on suburban roads and speed limits reduced to 30km/h.

PerthNow has learnt that the government is looking to trial so-called bike boulevards in three Perth suburbs. It’s understood Belmont and Bayswater are two of those.

Under the plan, sections of roads in Perth suburbs would be designated as bike boulevards with motorists required to travel at no more than 30km/h.

The government will work with councils on the plan, which would see suburbs promoted as more liveable.
