C508 is a rural route in the Meander valley area, west of Launceston, serving a rich agricultural district. It is sealed for its entire length and also mostly devoid of line markings.

Focal point signage for northbound traffic is somewhat confusing, with the fingerboard sign at the southern end of the route referring to "National Highway 1" (Bass Highway) which is now the B54 - Meander Valley Secondary Road. C508 no longer links with the Bass Highway, which has been relocated onto a new limited-access route bypassing Carrick.
