This is a list of highways in Melbourne, Australia. Some of these highways are bona-fide, connecting Melbourne to other towns and settlements, some of which have been later swallowed by Melbourne growth. However others are former streets designated as highways (particularly in VicRoads documentation) to highlight their importance as links between highways and freeways. [1]
