Road routes in New South Wales pre-alphanumeric (until 2013)
Road routes in New South Wales assist drivers navigating roads throughout the state, as roads may change names several times between destinations, or have a second local name in addition to a primary name. New South Wales previously used an older, numerical shield-based system (which this article focuses on) until 2013, when it was completely replaced (except for Tourist Routes) with a newer, alphanumeric system.
New South Wales implemented the federally-issued National Routes system between 1954 and 1955, using white-and-black shields highlighting interstate links between major regional centres; some of these routes were later upgraded into National Highways using green-and-gold shields when the National Roads Act was passed in 1974.
Sydney's initial shield system was the Ring Road system, with three routes rolled out in 1964. These were eventually replaced by a specialised Freeway Routes system in 1973, and a state-wide shield-based numbering scheme, allocating blue-and-white shields across Sydney in 1974, numbered to fit around existing National Routes, with separate allocations for rural New South Wales, the Hunter (Greater Newcastle) and Illawarra (Greater Wollongong) regions; this system received sporadic updates throughout the 1990s and 2000s. These were augmented by the Metroad system in 1992–93, with its blue-on-white hexagonal shields identifying major routes through Sydney, with additional routes added through the late 1990s.
The new alphanumeric system, introduced in 2013, has now replaced the previous scheme across the entire state. It consists of alphanumeric routes, a one-to-three digit number prefixed with a letter (M, A, B, or D) that denotes the grade and importance of the road, and (apart from Tourist Routes) is now the state's only road route numbering system.
Some routes, in part or in their entirety, may have been made obsolete by the alphanumeric designation: these replacement routes are noted but not listed in full here. Some also may follow older alignments or routes later changed even after the new system was introduced, and are included here for the sake of completion. Roads are described in either a west–east or north–south alignment.
National Routes
National Routes were the first type of route numbering to be attempted in Australia on a large scale, signed with a white shield and black writing (similar in shape to the shield that appears on the Australian coat of arms), with New South Wales receiving routes in 1954. They highlighted the interstate links connecting major population, industrial and principal regions of New South Wales to the rest of the Australia, in a way that was readily identifiable to interstate travellers. The system was prepared by COSRA (Conference of State Road Authorities), held between 1953 and 1954: once each state road authority agreed to the scheme, it was rolled out federally.
In 1954, the Hume Highway was trialled as National Route 31, chosen due to its prominence as a transport corridor connecting Australia's largest cities (Sydney and Melbourne). Soon after, other National Routes across the state were allocated. Selected routes were later upgraded into National Highways when the National Roads Act was passed in 1974.
New South Wales' National Routes were initially replaced within the boundaries of Sydney with the Metroad system in 1992–93, and eventually replaced entirely across the state by the alphanumeric system in 2013: each route was converted to an alphanumeric route number, rendering the previous shields redundant. Many National Routes across New South Wales were renumbered during the conversion, while some others were not replaced at all and became unsigned.
Construction of Sydney–Newcastle Freeway sections bypassing Pacific Highway built between Berowra and Ourimbah between 1964 and 1973 (old alignments eventually allocated in 1979), entire freeway replaced by in 1974 (and progressively extended at both ends until 1998)
– re-aligned through North Sydney from Pacific Highway to Berry/Arthur/Mount Streets (one-way southbound) and Pacific Highway (one-way northbound) when the Warringah Freeway opened in 1968; – re-aligned through central Sydney from Pacific and Bradfield Highways, York and George Streets, Broadway, City Road, King Street and Princes Highway to York Street (one-way southbound) and Clarence Street (one-way northbound) in 1972; – re-aligned through central Sydney from York/Clarence and George Streets to Western Distributor, Harris Street and Broadway in 1986; – re-aligned through central Sydney from Harris Street to Wattle/Fig Streets (one-way northbound) and Harris Street (one-way southbound) when the Fig Street Connection opened in 1990; – re-aligned through northern, central and southern Sydney from Pacific and Bradfield Highways, Western Distributor, Wattle/Fig/Harris Streets, Broadway, City Road, King Street and Princes Highway, to current alignment when Gore Hill Freeway and Sydney Harbour Tunnel opened in 1992; – replaced by in 1993[1]
– allocated in 1974 – re-aligned through Queanbeyan from Uriarra Road and Crawford Street (and Norse Road in ACT) to current alignment (eliminating level crossing with Bombala railway line) in 1982 – replaced by
Replaced by between NSW/QLD border and Curlwaa: while allocation originally continued into Victoria, detours to terminate in Buronga
Decommissioned or unsigned route
National Highways
With the passing of the National Roads Act in 1974, selected National Routes were further upgraded to the status of a National Highway: interstate roads linking Australia's capital cities and major regional centres that received federal funding, and were of higher importance than other National Routes. These new routes were symbolised by green shields with gold writing, and the word "National" along the top of the shield. Most of New South Wales' National Highways were declared in 1974 and their shields converted in the following years, with National Highways 20 and 39 later declared in 1992.
Like National Routes, New South Wales' National Highways were also replaced with the alphanumeric system, introduced across the state in 2013: each route was converted to an alphanumeric route number, with all keeping their number during the conversion.
Progressively reallocated along Sydney–Newcastle Freeway (F3) sections (already existing between Ourimbah–Berowra when replaced in 1974) as they opened: – re-aligned from Pacific Highway (Kangy Angy–Doyalson, replaced by ) when freeway's Kangy Angy–Wallarah stage and Motorway Link (Wallarah–Doyalson) opened in 1983 – re-aligned from Motorway Link and Pacific Highway (Wallarah–Newcastle, replaced by ) to Freemans/Leggetts Drives (concurrency with ), Leggetts Drive, Stamford/Railway Streets to Kurri Kurri (concurrency with ), Tarro/Mulbring Streets and John Renshaw Drive (concurrency with ) when freeway's Mandalong–Freemans Waterhole stage opened in 1988 – re-aligned from Pacific Highway (Berowra–Wahroonga) when freeway's replacement stage opened in 1989 – re-aligned from Freemans/Leggetts Drives, Stamford/Railway/Tarro/Mulbring Streets and John Renshaw Drive (Freemans Waterhole-Beresfield) to Lenaghans Drive when freeway's Ryhope–Minmi stage opened in 1993 – re-aligned from Pacific Highway (Ourimbah–Kangy Angy) when freeway's replacement stage opened in 1997 – re-aligned from Lenaghans Drive (Minmi–Beresfield) to current alignment when freeway's final replacement stage opened in 1998 – replaced by , renamed Pacific Motorway
Progressively reallocated along upgraded Hume Highway and South Western Freeway (F5) sections as they opened: – re-aligned from Hume Highway (Yanderra–Aylmerton, eventually replaced by in 1980), when freeway's replacement stage opened in 1977 – re-aligned from Hume Highway (Casula–Yanderra (replaced by ) to South Western Freeway, when freeway's Campbelltown–Yanderra stage opened in 1980 – northern end extended from Casula to Prestons when Casula bypass opened in 1994, South Western Freeway renamed South West Motorway – signage along Hume Highway (from Berrima to the border) progressively replaced with , along Hume Highway and South West Motorway (from Prestons to Berrima) replaced with , from 1997 – northern end truncated from Prestons to Campbelltown (replaced by ) when allocated in 1999 – northern end restored back to Prestons, South West Motorway renamed Hume Motorway (from Prestons to Berrima), officially replaced along entire allocation with in 2013
These routes, characterised by their blue and white hexagonal shields, were phased in across Sydney between 1992 and 1993, better highlighting major routes into and around the city. A total of 9 routes existed, numbered from 1 to 10, covering Sydney's major radial and circumferential arteries. Metroad 4 was fully signed in December 1992, and Metroads 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 followed in 1993. A second stage was rolled out a few years later: Metroads 9 and 10 were added in 1998, and Metroad 6 was added in 1999; there was no Metroad 8. These were eventually replaced with the alphanumeric system, introduced across the state in 2013: each route was converted to an alphanumeric route number, keeping their number during the conversion (with the exception of Metroad 10, which became A8).
– re-aligned through central Sydney from Palmer and Bourke Streets (southbound)/Campbell and Crown Streets, Sir John Young Crescent (northbound), Flinders and South Dowling Streets to current alignment when Eastern Distributor opened in 1999 – replaced by
– northern end extended along Pennant Hills Road from Carlingford to Beecroft when Westlink M7 opened (replacing ) in 2005 – progressively re-aligned from Old Illawarra Road to New Illawarra Road between Menai and Barden Ridge as sections of the Bangor Bypass project completed between 2005 and 2011 – replaced by , northern end retracted back to Carlingford (replaced by )[6]
After planning by the Department of Main Roads, the State Route system – a new route numbering system across the state of New South Wales – was introduced in 1974. The route numbering scheme was symbolised by blue rounded shields with white writing – much like the Freeway Routes, except without the red crests – with focus points in Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong. They were allocated to fit around the existing National Routes system and Sydney's Freeway Routes, and to also replace Sydney's existing Ring Roads, marking out urban arterial routes and secondary rural highways. The system had two minor updates when Metroads were introduced across Sydney (in 1992–93, and again in 1998–99), and received sporadic updates (mostly route decommissioning) in the years following.
They were allocated as follows:
11, 33 and 55: Respectively replaced Ring Roads 1, 3 and 5. In 1988, State Route 77 was commissioned as an additional primary circumferential route;
11–77: Greater Sydney. Even numbers were for radial routes in and out of the city, while odd numbers were circumferential around the city, roughly increasing in value anticlockwise around Sydney. Exceptions were State Route 31 (which replaced Metroad 5 when the South Western Motorway was extended east) and State Route 60 (which is in Wollongong). Routes 36, 40, 56, 68 and 69 extended beyond the bounds of Greater Sydney;
78–99: Rural New South Wales. Due to a far larger area of coverage and no focal cities, east–west routes were to be even-numbered, while north–south routes were to be odd-numbered;
111, 121–124, 128, 131–133, 135: Hunter region. Like Sydney, even numbers were for radial routes into and out of Newcastle, while odd numbers were circumferential around Newcastle;
151, 153, 155 and 157: Illawarra region. Like Sydney, even numbers were for radial routes into and out of Wollongong, while odd numbers were circumferential around Wollongong;
2: In 2008, Queensland's State Route 2 from the Gold Coast was extended a short distance into far northern NSW and remains the only official state route.
State Routes were eventually replaced by the alphanumeric system in 2013; as many had been decommissioned beforehand, very few survived to be converted into an alphanumeric route number. Those converted in rural areas usually kept their number; some in Greater Sydney were renumbered during the conversion, while most were not replaced at all and became unsigned.

Freeway Routes
A new system, specifically designed for freeways in New South Wales, was introduced in 1973. They were symbolised by blue rounded shields with white writing crowned by red crests, in an imitation of the American Interstate shield. Planning, and resulting land reservation, for these freeways had already been made by the Department of Main Roads in 1951 (with the exception of the F2, which was planned later in 1967), and signage on existing roads in these reservations was rolled out between 1973 and 1974; while extensions or freeway segments were signed as they opened throughout the 1970s, signage became neglected during the 1980s and subsequent extensions to existing signed Freeways Routes were rarely marked (particularly since plans and construction of many of the proposed freeways were cancelled by the state government in 1977). Eight routes were planned, but only five were ever signed. The system was never officially decommissioned, but virtually all signage was removed when Metroads were introduced in 1992.
Fully signed across Warringah Freeway (North Sydney to Naremburn, constructed in stages between 1968 and 1978) in 1974. Extension from Naremburn to Frenchs Forest (including conversion of Wakehurst Parkway to freeway standards) never built, and cancelled in 1977.
Never signed. Castlereagh Freeway proposed between Castlereagh and Macquarie Park, to connect with proposed Lane Cove Valley (LCV) Expressway (F3), and was extended further east to meet Epping Road in North Ryde when LCV Expressway cancelled in 1977. Westlink M7 (from Oakhurst, opened in 2005) and Hills Motorway (opened in 1997) built in Castlereagh Freeway reservation after Freeway Routes were phased out.
Never signed. First part of North Western Expressway from Drummoyne to Linley Point (including Gladesville, Tarban Creek and Fig Tree Bridges, now Victoria Road) built between 1959 and 1965; second part from Sydney CBD to Pyrmont (now Western Distributor) built between 1971 and 1976; remaining part between Pyrmont and Drummoyne cancelled in 1977. Part of Hills Motorway (opened in 1997) built in Lane Cove Valley Expressway reservation (from North Ryde to Macquarie Park). Sydney-Newcastle Freeway built in segments between 1964 and 1998, portions were actually a tollway for a time, and Freeway Routes phased out when fully built. Still commonly referred to as F3 on government documents and colloquially.
Fully signed across western section of freeway (Emu Plains to Prospect) in 1974, but not signed after eastern section of freeway (Auburn to Strathfield) opened (in stages between 1982 and 1985).
Fully signed between Crossroads and Raby when South Western Freeway opened in 1973, extended to Campbelltown when section opened in 1974. Sections north of Crossroads within reservation bypassing Liverpool were constructed after Freeway Routes were phased out. Still commonly referred to as F5 on government documents and colloquially.
Fully signed between Gwynneville and Unanderra in 1973, extended north when Waterfall to Bulli Tops section opened in 1975, extended south to Kanahooka when section opened in 1978. Captain Cook Bridge, crossing the Georges River in southern Sydney, was built in Southern Freeway reservation in 1965, but project was cancelled north of Waterfall in 1977. Scattered signage still remains today; still commonly referred to as F6 on government documents and colloquially.
Never signed. Cahill Expressway opened in stages between 1958 and 1962 but not signed; Eastern Distributor opened in 1999 after Freeway Routes were phased out. Eastern Freeway was not built, but the Bondi Junction bypass was built in its reservation in 1979 (renamed Syd Einfeld Drive in 1988).
Fully signed between Gwynneville and North Wollongong in 1973, but not signed when next extension north to Towradgi opened in 1990. Extended north within reservation from Towradgi to Bellambi in 1992, and from Bellambi to Bulli in 2009; renamed Memorial Drive in 2010.
Decommissioned or unsigned route
Ring Roads
The Ring Roads system was introduced in 1964 as a way to highlight major routes around Sydney (on circumferential routes), complimenting the existing National Route system (which were all radial routes into and out of Sydney). Ring Roads carried a blue and white circular shield with a dotted outline. Three Ring Roads were proclaimed, but this system lasted for only 10 years before being replaced by the State Routes system in 1974.
– re-aligned through Strathfield from Albert Road, Strathfield Square and The Boulevard to current alignment when Raw Square extension opened in 1972 – replaced by in 1974[31]
Highways in Australia are generally high capacity roads managed by state and territory government agencies, though Australia's federal government contributes funding for important links between capital cities and major regional centres. Prior to European settlement, the earliest needs for trade and travel were met by narrow bush tracks, used by tribes of Indigenous Australians. The formal construction of roads began in 1788, after the founding of the colony of New South Wales, and a network of three major roads across the colony emerged by the 1820s. Similar road networks were established in the other colonies of Australia. Road construction programs in the early 19th century were generally underfunded, as they were dependent on government budgets, loans, and tolls; while there was a huge increase in road usage, due to the Australian gold rushes. Local government authorities, often known as Road Boards, were therefore established to be primarily responsible for funding and undertaking road construction and maintenance. The early 1900s saw both the increasingly widespread use of motorised transportation, and the creation of state road authorities in each state, between 1913 and 1926. These authorities managed each state's road network, with the main arterial roads controlled and maintained by the state, and other roads remaining the responsibility of local governments. The federal government became involved in road funding in the 1920s, distributing funding to the states. The depression of the 1930s slowed the funding and development of the major road network until the onset on World War II. Supply roads leading to the north of the country were considered vital, resulting in the construction of Barkly, Stuart, and Eyre Highways.
Pacific Highway is a 790-kilometre-long (491 mi) national highway and major transport route along the central east coast of Australia, with the majority of it being part of Australia's Highway 1. The highway and its adjoining Pacific Motorway between Brisbane and Brunswick Heads and Pacific Motorway between Sydney and Newcastle links the state capitals of Sydney in New South Wales with Brisbane in Queensland, approximately paralleling the Tasman Sea and the Coral Sea of the South Pacific Ocean coast, via regional cities and towns like Gosford, Newcastle, Taree, Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Ballina, Byron Bay, Tweed Heads and the Gold Coast, which is part of Queensland. Additionally, between Brunswick Heads and Port Macquarie, the road is also signed as Pacific Motorway, but has not been legally gazetted as such.
Metroads were the primary road routes serving the Sydney and Brisbane metropolitan areas from the 1990s to the early 2010s. The Metroads formed a network of radial and circumferential routes throughout the cities, simplifying navigation. Metroads have been progressively phased out in both Sydney and Brisbane, replaced by alphanumeric route numbers. Brisbane is the only city currently retaining the Metroad system.
The M2 is a route in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, that links Sydney suburbs from Artarmon in the south-east to Bella Vista in the north-west. The route consists of two separately named motorways, the M2 Hills Motorway and the Lane Cove Tunnel.
A routenumber, designation or abbreviation is an identifying numeric designation assigned by a highway authority to a particular stretch of roadway to distinguish it from other routes and, in many cases, also to indicate its classification, general geographical location and/or orientation. The numbers chosen may be used solely for internal administrative purposes; however, in most cases they are also displayed on roadside signage and indicated on maps.
M1 Pacific Motorway is a 127-kilometre motorway linking Sydney to Newcastle via the Central Coast and Hunter regions of New South Wales. Formerly known but still commonly referred to by both the public and the government as the F3 Freeway, Sydney–Newcastle Freeway, and Sydney–Newcastle Expressway, it is part of the AusLink road corridor between Sydney and Brisbane.
Gore Hill Freeway is a 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) divided freeway located in Sydney, New South Wales that is part of the Sydney Orbital Network and Highway 1. The primary function of the freeway is to provide an alternative high-grade route from Lane Cove to Naremburn and to reduce traffic demands on Pacific Highway throughout Sydney's lower north shore, bypassing St Leonards and Gore Hill.
Bradfield Highway is a 2.1-kilometre (1.3 mi) highway that crosses the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Sydney, New South Wales and is one of the shortest highways in Australia. It opened along with the bridge itself on 19 March 1932 and was named in honour of John Bradfield, the engineer who designed and helped construct it.
Warringah Freeway is a 3.5-kilometre (2.2 mi) divided freeway in Sydney, New South Wales that is part of the Sydney Orbital Network. The primary function of the freeway is to provide an alternative high-grade route from the Sydney Harbour Tunnel and Bradfield Highway at Milsons Point to the A8 and Gore Hill Freeway. The freeway reduces traffic demands on Pacific Highway throughout Sydney's Lower North Shore, bypassing North Sydney and Crows Nest, and provides a vital link to access most of the suburbs in Sydney and is also a major route to the north, south, east and west of the central business district.
Cahill Expressway is an urban freeway in Sydney and was the first freeway constructed in Australia, with the first section, from the Bradfield Highway to Conservatorium Place being opened to traffic in March 1958. It links the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, via an elevated roadway, a tunnel and cuttings between the Royal Botanic Garden and The Domain, to Woolloomooloo in Sydney's inner-eastern suburbs.
The M4 Motorway is a 55-kilometre (34 mi) series of partially tolled dual carriageway motorways in Sydney designated as route M4. The M4 designation is part of the wider A4 and M4 route designation, the M4 runs parallel and/or below ground to Great Western Highway, Parramatta Road and City West Link, which are part of route A44.
Southern Cross Drive is a 4.8 km (3 mi) dual carriage untolled motorway in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Part of the M1 and Sydney Orbital Network, the road, a freeway that opened in 1969, links South Dowling Street at Kensington in the north to General Holmes Drive at Sydney Airport in the south.
King Georges Road is a 9.0-kilometre-long (5.6 mi) major suburban arterial road through south-western Sydney, Australia. It is a constituent part of the A3 route.
Western Distributor is a 4.3-kilometre-long (2.7 mi) grade-separated motorway that is primarily elevated for the majority of its route on the western fringe of the Sydney central business district. It links the southern end of Bradfield Highway at the Sydney Harbour Bridge to Victoria Road in Rozelle, at its western terminus near White Bay. It is a constituent part of the A4 route.
Burnt Bridge Creek Deviation is a 1.7-kilometre-long (1.1 mi) major arterial road in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, Australia, and is a constituent part of the A8 route. It takes its name from Burnt Bridge Creek which flows beneath the road, although there is no sign of the "burnt bridge" which gives the creek its name.
The A8 is a route designation of a major metropolitan arterial route through suburban north-eastern Sydney. This name covers a few consecutive roads and is widely known to most drivers, but the entire allocation is also known – and signposted – by the names of its constituent parts: Pittwater Road, Condamine Street, Burnt Bridge Creek Deviation, Manly Road, Spit Road and Military Road.
Camden Valley Way is a 23-kilometre (14 mi) arterial road between the southwestern fringes of suburban Sydney and the historic town of Camden. It is a former alignment of Hume Highway.
Ryde Road is a 3.3-kilometre-long (2.1 mi) arterial road in Sydney, Australia. It is a constituent part of the A3 (Sydney) route.
In New South Wales, Highway 1 is a 1,351-kilometre (839 mi) long route that crosses the state, from the Queensland/New South Wales border near Tweed Heads to the Victorian border near Timbillica. It provides the main coastal route between Brisbane and Melbourne via Sydney. Highway 1 continues around the rest of Australia, joining all mainland state capitals, and connecting major centres in Tasmania.
