Road number and name changes in NSW A better way to navigate NSW roads A25 Barton Highway 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 umbern from 1 to 99. This factsheet details the changes across NSW.

There are some roads where the road number will change as well as gaining a letter. These are listed below by region.

The route will however retain the alpha numeric route marker M31. Twelve marked routes cross the border from NSW into neighbouring States. In all cases, the route number will remain the same, although the alpha marker may change if the standard of road differs across the border.
