Know the road.

Everything unlocked during beta. No PadRoute account or payment details required.
Know the road
Check the road before you commit.
Choose the preset that matches your vehicle. PadRoute shows which roads are shown as approved, where conditions apply, what needs checking and why. We check for new NHVR data every week and update PadRoute when it changes.
- Choose from more than 1,100 vehicle presets built from NHVR vehicle definitions.
- See how road access changes from start to finish
- Get a warning before conditions or restrictions ahead
Know the stop
Know what you are pulling into.
You do not need an active route to look ahead. Check what is at a stop, whether the facilities were recently reported clean or working, and what drivers found before you turn in.
- Rest areas, truck parking, service stations and public weighbridges
- Recent reports about facilities, cleanliness and overnight safety
- See whether drivers recently reported inspectors at an inspection site
Trace it to source
Read the condition. Check it yourself.
PadRoute does not stop at green, amber or red. Read the condition that applies, see where it came from and open the official source when you want to check it yourself.
- See the wording that applies to your vehicle
- Open the official source from PadRoute
- Know when the data does not give a clear answer

PadRoute shows the condition behind each access result and links you to the official source. You can check the wording yourself instead of relying on a green tick alone.
We check for new NHVR data every week and update PadRoute when it changes.
Find stops and facilities across Australia, including rest areas, service stations, truck parking and public weighbridges. Road access checks use available NHVR data for the ACT, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria. What is available still depends on the source and location.
