Towing changes how you read a road. Tight corners that work for a car can be dangerous with a trailer. Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) applies a caravan-specific model to every sealed road in Australian Capital Territory - prioritising surface quality, road width, and moderate curviness while filtering out roads too tight or too rough to tow safely. Measured at 500m resolution across 40+ signals.

Year-round. Best in spring (September to November) when roads are clear after winter. Brindabella Road into the Brindabella Ranges offers mountain driving within 40 minutes of central Canberra.
Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) for caravans prioritises sealed surfaces, consistent road width, and moderate curviness - tight mountain switchbacks that are excellent for sports cars can be hazardous with a trailer attached. Surface quality and traffic density carry higher weight than curviness. Roads with low truck traffic, good surfaces, and manageable corner radii score highest. The score runs 0 to 10 at 500m resolution.
