Improvements to Main Roads website

Main Roads website now has new features to help commuters, travellers and communities across Queensland:

  • interactive mapping
  • Points of interest (POI) files for downloadable driver stop information
  • RSS feeds for webcams, properties for sale or rent and events.

Improved mapping

If you are driving around Queensland, the new map will assist you to plan your trip and arrive at your destination safely. To access the map go to the Guide to Queensland roads section of the site.

The map has illustrated locations of:

  • webcams
  • motorist rest areas
  • driver reviver
  • scenic stops
  • heavy vehicle rest areas
  • heavy vehicle stopping places
  • dual motorist and heavy vehicle rest areas.

You can select any feature on the map to find detailed information about a location.

Points of interest files

Points of interest files are featured for each driver stop category on Queensland's state-controlled roads, including:

  • motorist rest areas
  • driver reviver
  • scenic stops
  • heavy vehicle rest areas
  • heavy vehicle stopping places
  • dual motorist and heavy vehicle rest areas.

The files can be installed on your portable navigation devices and include download instructions.

At this stage, information provided is suitable for Garmin, TomTom & Navman devices.
