General Information:
State Route 60 is a major arterial route from the Perth CBD, through Perth's northern suburbs to the northwest coastal towns and villages north of Perth.

Various conversions to dual carriageway are also taking place, with only small pockets of SR60 between Wanneroo and Carabooda not upgraded.
