The highway has been designated as State Route A66 between Keith and Mount Gambier. The remainder, between Mount Gambier and Port MacDonnell has been labeled State Route B66, although this is not officially known as the Riddoch Highway.

It passes through grazing and cereal-growing land, horticultural and vineyards (including Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Coonawarra wine regions), and plantation timber, predominantly pinus radiata.

The Royal Automobile Association (RAA) has rated the highway at 5/10.cite web |url=http://www.raa.net/download.asp?file=documentsdocument_1205.pdf |format=PDF |title=roadwatch report | riddoch highway |accessdate=2007-10-16 |month=September | year=2006 |publisher=RAA]
