The WA Police Force provide a high level of direct traffic enforcement, detecting traffic offences in areas not covered by speed and red-light cameras. While all police can, and do, enforce road rules, most traffic enforcement is undertaken by specialist traffic police attached to your local District Traffic Office or from units within State Traffic Operations, such as the Traffic Enforcement Group (TEG). These police are on the front line of road safety and are highly trained in dealing with all traffic safety issues.

The Road Safety Commission is responsible for research and policy which helps develop road safety strategies and speed limits. The commission also manages road safety education campaigns, partnership programs and community consultation.
