{{Use Australian English|date=June 2017}} {{Use dmy dates|date=June 2017}} [[File:State Strategic Touring Routes in Queensland, Australia.png|thumb|State Strategic Touring Routes]] '''State Strategic Touring Routes''' (SSTR) are road routes in [[Queensland]], Australia, which have been identified as significant to motoring tourists. These are the primary routes used by tourists as they provide the connections between popular tourist locations, and consequently have high volumes of tourist traffic. Standardised road signage is used to identify the route itself, with "Welcome to" signage at towns and districts of interest to tourists, as well as "turn off" signage to natural attractions.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/communityandenvironment/touristservicesigns/driving-experiences.pdf|title=Driving Experiences (State Strategic Touring Routes and Tourist Drives)|date=February 2016|website=Department of Transport and Main Roads|publisher=[[Queensland Government]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170527071610/http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/communityandenvironment/touristservicesigns/driving-experiences.pdf|archive-date=27 May 2017|url-status=live|access-date=27 May 2017}} Licensed as [[CC BY|CC BY 3.0 AU]].</ref>
SSTRs must meet criteria as to road quality and safety to be included. Roads used in SSTRs may be closed in some seasons, provided this information is made available to SSTRs users. Information for tourists travelling the route must be available either through Visitor/Tourist Information Centres or by signage at rest stops and points of interests.<ref name=":0" />
