Frequently asked questions
What are the best sealed driving roads in the Northern Territory?+
The page above lists Contour's top-scored fully-sealed roads in the Northern Territory, ordered by sports RQS. Every road has been analysed for curviness, surface, elevation, traffic, speed limit, and road class.
Can I drive these roads in a regular car?+
Yes. All roads on this list are sealed for their scored length, so any roadworthy passenger vehicle will handle them. Some are technical - check the RQS and grey spot counts on each road page before committing.
Are these roads good for motorcycles?+
Most are. Sealed roads with high sports RQS typically also score well for motorcycles because the same geometry and surface qualities matter. Filter by the motorcycle profile on each road page to confirm.
Scores reflect road geometry, surface quality, traffic density, and crash history. Always drive to conditions and follow local road rules.
