Inspector Craig Fox confirmed police would continue to search for the teenager who has not been seen or heard from since Sunday, April 30.
"We want to speak to anyone who was driving a vehicle on Henry Street, in the vicinity of the North Esk River between the hours of 8pm and 9pm on Sunday [April 30].
"These drivers could be potential witness of Shyanne-Lee's last known movements, whether they think they saw anything or not."
The location is where police believe Shyanne-Lee was last seen.
Inspector Fox said CCTV images from some vehicles in the area at the time was already available, and hoped the images might prompt drivers' memories.
He asked for anyone who had driven in the location to contact police.
"One small piece of information could be all we need to locate her," he said.
Tasmania Police will be returning to the North Esk River on Wednesday to conduct another search for Shyanne-Lee and any of her belongings.
"On Thursday specialist police officers from Search and Rescue, our Dive Squad, and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter will also be deployed to search the North Esk River," Inspector Fox said.
"We have concerns for Shyanne-Lee's welfare and urge anyone with information that may assist us to locate Shyanne-Lee, or determine her movements, to contact police on 131 444 or report to Crime Stoppers Tasmania - you can report information anonymously."
Shyanne-Lee is approximately 160cm tall, a slim build with blonde hair. At the time she was last seen, she was wearing a cream coloured hooded jumper with dark coloured writing on the chest and shoulder area. She was also wearing bike shorts.
