It is primarily used as a freight route for plantation timber trucks and interstate long vehicles servicing the horticultural areas of the South West. The road is a two way, single carriageway bitumen surfaced highway.[2]

The Muirs Highway passes through several localities including Manjimup, Dingup, Nyamup, Strachan, Murtinup, Rocky Gully and Mount Barker.[2]

Muirs Highway was named after brothers Thomas and John Muir, the first European settlers in the Warren district, who settled at Deeside in 1852 and built a rush hut there in 1856.[3]
