Main Roads looks after Queensland's 33,500km state-controlled road network and our roads carry 80 percent of the state's traffic- the highways and other main connecting roads in Queensland. This task involves planning, designing, building and maintaining the roads and associated infrastructure (such as bridges) on these roads.

Main Roads works in close partnership with local governments, industries and communities to determine priorities for work on the state-controlled network. This network carries 60-70% of Queensland's traffic. It is the lifeblood of the state's economy and regional development. The network helps all Queenslanders' quality of life by giving them access to jobs, health, education, recreation and other services.

As well as having responsibility for planning, designing, building and maintaining Queensland's state-controlled roads, Main Roads has an important role to play in the management of activities that occur within the reserves that contain the road infrastructure including pavements and traffic signs.
