Report an active transport hazard
Find out how you can report a hazard you have come across when out walking, wheeling or riding.
Reporting a hazard
Western Australia’s network of roads and paths is developed and maintained by different agencies. Reporting hazards to the right agency will help make sure issues are addressed in the best possible way and as quickly as possible.
Examples of hazards include:
• potholes
• path or road bumps
• sand, grass, glass or other material on the path surface
• overhanging branches
• drainage grates
• traffic lights not responding.
Please note: The Department of Transport does not own the cycling infrastructure.
Hazards on shared paths along railway lines or major roads and freeways
Hazards on principal shared paths along railway lines or major roads and freeways should be reported to Main Roads WA.
Hazards on main roads and traffic lights
Active travel hazards involving traffic lights and/or main roads should be reported to Main Roads WA.
Hazards on railway tracks or at stations
Hazards on shared paths at railway tracks or at stations should be reported to the Public Transport Authority.
Hazards on other foot and bike paths
Hazards on footpaths and bike paths in Perth and Peel should be reported to the local government responsible for the area. You can contact them direct or complete our online hazard report form, which we will forward to the relevant local government authority for action. Refer to the local government boundaries map (available to download below the form) if you are unsure which local government is responsible for a section of path.
You can also use the form to report hazards on shared paths along railway lines or major roads and freeways (please select ‘Main Roads’ from the drop-down list).
