Route A10/B10 begins in North Adelaide as a major urban arterial to Modbury and Tea Tree Gully. From there it heads into the Adealide Hills as the Torrens Valley Scenic Drive and ends up in Nuriootpa via Mount Pleasant and Angaston. The A10 designation changes to B10 at Hancock Road in Tea Tree Gully which is where the road changes from urban arterial to windy mountain road.
There are three duplexes along the route, with the B31, B34 and B35 all rather shockingly signed.
