Western Australia's population is mainly concentrated in the south west. Outside of Perth the population is relatively sparse when compared to rural areas of the eastern states. Most of the highways are found here.
In many cases, roads away from cities can be known as country roads before the specific designations of highways or state routes.
In Australia, the term freeway describes a particular type of highway. A freeway is generally multi-laned and grade-separated for its entire length, with on-ramp and off-ramp access provided.

As the outback covers most of Western Australia, tracks provide vital links to remote communities and settlements. It must be emphasised that these tracks are unsealed, remote and in many cases pass through restricted areas. They should only be negotiated by experienced drivers.
