I think it's important to remember that the majority of Perth's road users tend to follow the it's only illegal if you get caught motto. Retards will always be retards no matter how many demirit points you flog them.

Can anyone confirm/deny if Plain Street, for the entire length, is 50kp/h?, starting from where that big round-a-bout is near the BP. Got flashed at 58-59 or so at the top of the hill, where it seems is the home base for all the poliscans. Saw about 5-6 cars setting up their equipment, and got done by one on the side of the road

Should be 60kph road to be honest, if it is infact 50.

No speed signs, buildings all around = built up area = 50km/hr.

It's 50.i live just round the corner and got flashed once thinking it was 60 then I realised. I agree it should be 60... Or properly sign posted that it's actually 50 (they could use some of the funds they're making from catching people who think it's 60)...
