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.

The route will however retain the alpha numeric route marker M31. • The M4 will become the M4 Western Motorway between Lapstone and Concord.
