Road number and name changes in Sydney

A better way to navigate NSW roads

A36 King Street, Newtown

The current route marking system in NSW is 30 years old and needs an overhaul. From early 2013, we will introduce a new road numbering system and new names for some important routes across the state network. The system will include a combination of a letter - either an M (motorway), A (route of national significance) orB (route of state significance) - and a number from 1 to 99. This factsheet details the changes in the Sydney region.

Pub No. RMS 12.308 Camden There are eight routes that are currently sign posted that will change their number in this region. They are:

Old road New road Old road New road Road/s Road/s number number number number

Princes Highway (Kogarah North Sydney to to City, Broadway) 66 54 A36 Northern Beaches 10 A8

Hume Highway (Liverpool to City, 31 A22 Bells Line of Road 40 B59 Broadway)

Road name changes There are three routes in the Sydney region that will change their name from early 2013. • The Sydney to Newcastle Freeway (commonly known as the ‘F3’) will become part of the M1 Pacific Motorway. • The Hume Highway will be named the M31 Hume Motorway, from the M5 at Prestons to Berrima, after which it will revert to the Hume Highway. The route will however retain the alpha numeric route marker M31. • The M4 will become the M4 Western Motorway between Lapstone and Concord.
