24-hour stay recorded by Main Roads
Major Rest Area on North West Coastal Hwy at Nerren Nerren, in Shark Bay, Western Australia. Main Roads records this as a stopping place where a 24-hour stay is available.
Signs override this page. Whatever is signed at the site is the rule that applies, no matter what is written here.
Check the sign before you rely on this. The regulations define a road side rest area as an area designated by a traffic sign, erected in accordance with a written law, as an area that may be used for 24 hours for resting, stopping or camping in a vehicle. The traffic sign is what brings a place within the exception. The dataset records what Main Roads holds; the traffic sign in front of you is the instrument, and it can have changed since this snapshot was taken.

We have not read Shark Bay's local laws on camping or staying overnight in a vehicle, so this page makes no claim about them. They sit on top of the state regulations and can be stricter.
