The '''Gold Coast Highway''' in [[Queensland]], [[Australia]] links the [[coast]]al [[Suburbs of the Gold Coast|suburbs]] of the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]]. 33km in length, the highway passes through popular tourist resorts such as [[Southport, Queensland|Southport]], [[Surfers Paradise, Queensland|Surfers Paradise]], [[Burleigh Heads, Queensland|Burleigh Heads]] and [[Currumbin, Queensland|Currumbin]]. It is characterised by a variety of urban forms, ranging from high-density high rises in Surfers Paradise, Main Beach and Broadbreach, low rise apartments in Palm Beach and Bilinga, shopping at [[Southport, Queensland|Southport]] and [[Mermaid Beach, Queensland| Mermaid Beach]] historic motels and low-rise residential areas at [[Miami, Queensland|Miami]] and light industry at Arundel. It has coastal views at Currumbin Creek and passes alongside the Burleigh Heads National Park.

== History ==

It was formerly part of the [[Pacific Highway (Australia)|Pacific Highway]], when it handled transport between Queensland and New South Wales through the Gold Coast. The [[Pacific Highway (Australia)|Pacific Highway]] now runs about 8 km to the west as the [[M1, Queensland|M1]].

== Road Conditions ==

[[Image:GoldCoastHwy01.jpg|thumb|Gold Coast Hwy, Surfers Paradise, Northbound towards Beach Rd]]

The highway is divided with 4 lanes along the entire length except Labrador (2 lanes) and a few 6 lane segments (often as bus lanes). Traffic hazards include rear-end collisions at traffic lights, pedestrians crossing (many have been killed) and 'hooning' (speeding). The highway at Surfers Paradise is subject to conjestion during events, notably the Indy racing carnival, when it is reduced to 2 lanes.

The speed limit is mosly 70km/h. It is 60km/h at Palm Beach, Surfers Paradise and Labrador. It is 50km/h at Burleigh Heads and 80km/h north of Captain Cook Drive (Arundel).

== Current Projects and Capacity improvements ==
'''1. Labrador''': Between Government Road and North St, along a section also called Frank Street. The Highway is being duplicated from a two lane road. A new bridge with a 4 lane crossing has been completed across Loders Creek in 2007. Single lane sections north of the bridge, will be upgraded in next few years. The road upgrade will result in a throughfare similar to that in Surfers Paradise, with a narrow median and sections of bus lane constructed as a third lane through traffic lights.<ref name="MRQ01">{{cite web | publisher = Queensland Government Department of Main Roads | title = Gold Coast Highway - Government Road to North Street | work = Road Projects | date = 2007-10-29 | url = http://www.mainroads.qld.gov.au/web/publicCR.nsf/0/2B64FAF59AEA44C24A25735A00168989?OpenDocument | format = HTML | accessdate = 2007-12-17 }}</ref>

'''2. Mermaid Beach''': During 2008 bus lanes will be extended as well as changes to U-Turns, traffic lights, lighting and the median strip.<ref name="MRQ02">{{cite web | publisher = Queensland Government Department of Main Roads | title = Gold Coast Highway upgrade and bus lanes - Broadbeach to Miami | work = Road Projects | date = 2007-10-29 | url = http://www.mainroads.qld.gov.au/web/publicCR.nsf/0/115357F087B6FFA04A25735A001717D7?OpenDocument | format = HTML | accessdate = 2007-12-17 }}</ref>

'''3. Tugun''': The most notorious "bottle-neck" is at [[Tugun, Queensland|Tugun]], where the Gold Coast Highway joins the [[Pacific Highway (Australia)|Pacific Highway]] 8km north of [[Coolangatta, Queensland|Coolangatta]]. This problem will be rectified by the completion of the [[Tugun Bypass]], scheduled for 08 Jun 2008.<ref name="MRQ03">{{cite web | publisher = Queensland Government Department of Main Roads | title = Tugun Bypass project | work = Road Projects | date = 2007-12-07 | url = http://www.mainroads.qld.gov.au/web/publicCR.nsf/0/6B4C54DEFFF3A2B04A25735C00068DFE?OpenDocument
| format = HTML | accessdate = 2007-12-17 }}</ref> Once the bypass is complete, improvements at the Tugun end of the highway are planned.

== Public Transport ==
As of 17 December 2007, the highway has a 5 minute frequency bus service between Southport and Burleigh Heads during the day and a half-hourly 24-hr bus service between Southport and Tweed Heads. This is operated by [[Surfside Buslines|Surfside]] for [[TransLink (South East Queensland)|Translink]]. Bus lanes are in place at some stages and will be consolidated into a continuous corridor in future. [[Gold Coast Rapid Transit System|Light rail or a busway]] is also being considered given that more than half of all public transport trips on the Gold Coast use the highway corridor.
