Road Restrictions
The vehicle is permitted to be used on gazetted roads only. It is prohibited to use the vehicle off road, such as cross-country, on bush tracks or on beaches. Renters who ignore this prohibition will be liable for ALL damage to the vehicle and will not be provided with a replacement vehicle.
Even on gazetted roads, there is a higher liability for damage caused on unsealed surfaces (including the unsealed sections of roads which are normally sealed)
Most of Tasmanias main roads are sealed, but minor roads can be either unsealed and rough with loose gravel and soft edges or Narrow and winding with poor visibility for on-coming traffic. Some apear to be a short-cut to the main road, but inevitably they do not save time as they are rougher and require slower speeds. Even though they are gazetted we advise you avoid these roads if at all possible.
The following roads restricted for use:
a) The unsealed roads to the south and west of the Great Lake. Alternative Route renters should use the sealed highways to the east.
b) The unsealed roads connecting Smithton and Zeehan-
- on the west coast, any further south than the Arthur River township; and
- inland, any further south than where the Kanunnah Bridge crosses the Arthur River. Alternative Route is the Waratah Highway via Somerset, or the Hampshire Road via Burnie.
c) The back roads between Orford and Copping on the east coast. Alternative Route, renters should use the highway via Sorell.
d) The unsealed C827 between Nunamara and Nabowla in the north-east. Alternative Route, renters should use the A3 or B81.
There are also Mountain-top roads which are unsuitable when icy or slushy e.g The Ben Lomond Road above the bottom of Jacobs Ladder. Alternative Route, renters should use the public transport provided during the ski season. (Jacobs Ladder is not suitable at any time for Motorhomes)
