On Monday 16 December 2013 the existing speed limit of 70km/h will be reduced to 60km/h on Toodyay Road between Reserve Street and Old Coach Road. The existing 90km/h speed buffer zones will be reduced to 80km/h. In addition, the existing speed limit of 70km/h will be reduced to 60km/h along Bunning Road on the approach to the townsite.

The proposed changes will be implemented as part of Main Roads ongoing review of the speed limits in the metropolitan area.

"I could not be more pleased of the quick response we have delivered to this stretch of road in Gidgegannup. While speed limit changes are only a small part of our vision for Toodyay Road, and the joint Government-community committee is still working towards specific upgrades at five locations along a twelve kilometer stretch, it is an important first step and I commend Main Roads for implementing this during this calendar year" MLA Frank Alban said.

Further works are planned over the next four years, including upgrades of major intersections along the route, a review of signs and line-markings along Toodyay Road, and the installation of one-metre wide bitumen seal shoulders with rumble strips at critical points along the road where there have been single vehicle run-offs.
