On 28 September 2024, the Lyell Highway, between Derwent Bridge and Queenstown, was audited as part of this initiative.

This route was identified as a suitable touring route to conduct a road safety audit given its crash history. In the last 10 years, there have been 26 crashes involving motorcycles, seven of which involved serious injuries. 70 per cent of the crashes over that period of time were non-Tasmanian licence holders, demonstrating its popularity as a touring route.

The Department of State Growth is currently developing a schedule of works for the route with installation expected to occur in 2025/26.
