Projects/Issues
In 2011, the Gosnells RoadWise Advisory Group was very active in their community. A highlight was the School Road Safety Art Competition.

The Gosnells RoadWise Advisory Group is looking forward to a productive 2012 – spreading the Towards Zero road safety message to all residents of the City of Gosnells.
Safe Speeds
The Gosnells RoadWise Advisory Group has distributed "please slow down consider our kids"© bin stickers to all schools in their area to slow down around schools and look out for pedestrians. The stickers have been distributed in the streets around all schools in the City of Gosnells to remind drivers to slow down in school zones and look out for pedestrians.
Speed Display Trailer
The speed display trailer is used by the City of Gosnells to educate drivers about safe travel speeds on the Gosnells road network. The speed display trailer is deployed on a regular basis to different locations within the City of Gosnells to reduce travel speeds.
