Australian Capital Territory has good motorcycle roads beyond the obvious ones. Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) measures every sealed road in Australian Capital Territory across 40+ signals at 500m resolution - curviness, surface condition, elevation change, traffic density, speed limit profile, and road class - so the roads that score highest are actually the best to ride, not just the twistiest.
| Road | RQS (Moto) |
|---|---|
| Boboyan RoadRoute | 8.7 8.7 |
| Tidbinbilla RoadRoute | 8.4 8.4 |
| Corin RoadRoute | 8.3 8.3 |
| Uriarra Road | 8.3 8.3 |
| Old Cooma Road | 7.8 7.8 |
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.
The motorcycle profile applies higher weights to curviness and surface quality within the Road Quality Score (RQS). A road that scores 9.0 for motorcycles has excellent curviness, a smooth sealed surface, low truck traffic, and consistent lane width. Surface quality carries extra weight because tyre contact patch matters more at lean angle. The score runs 0 to 10 and is calculated at 500m resolution across every named road in the state.
