WA's longest road trains reach 60m. That's about how many cars long?

Answer: About 12 cars

About 12 average cars. Road trains run from 27.5m to 60m, and the longest operate only in regional areas.

Road trains are capped at 100km/h, some at 90km/h. Be patient and wait for an overtaking lane if there is one, and never cut in front: they need more distance to stop.
