Bicycle traffic counts
- Cycling count data summary (pdf 32kb)
Main Roads WA currently collects bicycle usage information using permanent counters at ten sites. Nine of the sites cover the main path routes to the Perth CBD and the remaining site is located on the path next to the Perth to Bunbury Highway. The counters have been brought online progressively from July 2008.

- Kwinana Freeway PSP - path on the eastern side of Narrows Bridge
- Mitchell Freeway PSP - south of Vincent Street

- Midland Railway Line PSP - south of the Mt Lawley Subway

- Mounts Bay Road RSP - on the path beside the Swan River
- Banks Reserve RSP - on the Tony di Scerni Pathway in Mount Lawley
- Perth to Bunbury Highway – on the path, south of Paganoni Road
The intention is to monitor the number of riders using these paths to obtain long term trend information.
Information is downloaded from the counters approximately once every two months. The available information will be updated on this website as it becomes available to Bikewest.
