The Inner West was split into ten areas to be zoned with 40km/h speed limits. The boundaries were determined using State Roads, as they provide distinct demarcations to clearly zone the separate areas. Based on the priority scoring, the ten areas were then categorised into four priorities:

• Priority A - red
• Priority B - pink
• Priority C - yellow
• Priority D - brown
