It carries much of the road traffic from the southern suburbs towards the city centre. This traffic completes its journey via Anzac Highway.

To the south, the Southern Expressway carries through traffic in peak hours to reduce congestion on South Road. It runs roughly parallel to South Road for 21 km from Darlington to Noarlunga. South Road continues past McLaren Vale (where the Victor Harbor road branches off) and runs parallel to the west coast of Fleurieu Peninsula all the way to Cape Jervis at its southern tip.
The road has begun suffering from extreme traffic congestion in recent years from the growth and development of the southern suburbs. An overpass at Cross Road was built years ago to reduce these concerns. While the Southern Expressway has been successful in expediating traffic past South Road's southern extent, it has been criticised for simply getting commuters to the blockage quicker. The current State Government is proposing an underpass at Anzac Highway and a tunnel at Port Road to further reduce congestion on South Road.
In November 2005, the RAA released their recommendations to the South Australian Government in regards to the road network. South Road was found to be the poorest road in the State, registering a 2/10 on the RAA's scale. The recommendations given included $6 billion of funds to
