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 winding mountain road.

There are three duplexes along the route, with the B31, B34 and B35 all rather poorly signed.

Prior to the introduction of alpha-numeric route marking in South Australia, the route was unnumbered, except for portions which were part of Tourist Drive 58 around the lower Adelaide hills area.

	AD sign assembly southbound on Torrens Valley Road approaching Tungkillo Road at Mt Pleasant. B35 has a short duplex with B10 through Mt Pleasant and should be shown straight ahead on this sign as well as left. Photo taken: April 2003.
	AD sign eastbound on Cricks Mill Road approaching the junction with Torrens Valley Road, Mt Pleasant. B35 should be shown left, as it duplexes with B35 for a short section through Mt Pleasant between Cricks Mill and Tungkillo Roads. Photo taken: April 2003.

	AD sign southbound on South Para Road (B31) approaching the junction with North East Road (B10/B31) at Chain of Ponds. Note the missing B31 route marker for the right turn, even though it appears that space was left for it above the B10 route marker. Photo taken: January 2005.
	Very old ID signs at the B10/B31 intersection. Note that A10 is incorrectly shown instead of B10 and B31 is incorrectly not shown for the left turn. Photo taken: January 2005.
	AD sign westbound on North East Road approaching the junction with Tippett Road, Chain of Ponds. The short B10/B31 duplex ends here with route B31 turning left onto Tippett Road - not that you would know it since it is incorrectly omitted from the sign. Photo taken: January 2005.
	Unique to SA alternative route AD sign at the junction of North East Road (B10/B31) & Tippett Road (B31), Chain of Ponds. This sign would be better located before the intersection so motorists can make their decision before reaching the intersection. Photo taken: January 2005.

	AD sign westbound on North East Road (B10) approaching the junction with Lower North East Road (A11) at Houghton. Note the unusual situation where an A-route terminates on a B-route - A11 does not change to B11 when leaving the Adelaide urban area, presumably because of the short distance before its terminus. Photo taken: January 2005.
