Bidwill Road speed limit lowered to improve safety

The speed limit along a section of Bidwill Road on the outskirts of Maryborough has been lowered to improve the safety of residents.

The speed limit on the section of Bidwill Road from the Cooloola Coast Road to Langer Road has been lowered to 90km/h.

“Residents along Bidwill Road and the Little Tinana Estate asked for the speed limit to be lowered, ”Fraser Coast Regional Councillor Daniel Sanderson said.

“What was once a rural road is attracting more traffic. A lot of trucks use the road which has several T-intersections at the bottom of crests and on curves.

“Council is very focussed on road safety. We’re committed to providing high quality public infrastructure to keep pace with growth.

“It’s all part of our plan to build better communities together.”

This financial year, Council is investing more than $40 million in roads, bridges and drainage projects.
