Also known as the Northern Outlet, the highway is the major arterial route through Hobart's northern suburbs and is Hobart's major road connection to the cities and towns of Northern Tasmania. It is a part of the National Highway Network and is one of Tasmania's busiest highways.
The Brooker Highway runs approximately 17 km north from the CBD, through the northern suburbs of Hobart, and through the City of Glenorchy, bypassing commercial and industrial centres along the original Main Road.

The major at-grade junctions are controlled by traffic light and roundabout intersections.
