With well-maintained, wide roads, it's great to get around Margaret River by car. However, you should take note of some key tips for a safe and pleasant journey.
Driving side: Like the rest of Australia, you'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Perth and Margaret River.
BAC limit: WA follows a strict blood alcohol content (BAC) limit of 0.05 for fully licensed drivers.
Child car seats: Children under seven years of age must be secured in a properly fastened and adjusted child restraint or booster seat.
Speed limit: Speed limits on WA roads are clearly signposted. In areas without signs, the default speed limit is 50 km/h in built-up zones and 110 km/h in rural zones. You should adjust your speed to suit different road conditions and weather, especially in rural areas with wildlife crossings.
Road conditions: Main roads in Margaret River are usually sealed and in good condition. However, you might find compacted gravel or dirt roads on some of the smaller roads. It's also especially common on the roads leading to natural attractions.
There are no toll roads around Margaret River or in the rest of WA.
There are ample petrol stations around the Margaret River region. You'll find several within town areas (like Margaret River, Busselton, and Dunsborough) and along main roads like Bussell Highway. EV chargers are also easy to find within the town areas.
It's best to hire a car if you want to explore Margaret River and surrounding areas. This way, you can visit attractions at your own pace without having to worry about catching public transport or expensive rideshare costs. As this is a regional area in Western Australia, public transport may not be as reliable as well.
