A Southern River MP is on a crusade to replace speed bumps with chicanes.

Chicanes are like speed bumps but have a more defined shape which forces people to slow down.

Member for Southern River Terry Healy told Oliver Peterson on Perth Live chicanes are much more effective at slowing people down.

“They’re hard and sharp so everyone has to slow down,” said Mr Healy.

Jerko Ostoic from Main Roads, Western Australia told Oliver Peterson chicanes are much better than speed bumps.

“It’s a lot more gentler on vehicles,” said Mr Ostoic.
