New Road Numbering SystemMonday, 29 October 2012 |
|
RMS (formerly the RTA) is introducing a new system of road numbering and new names for some important routes. The changes will commence in early 2013 and should be fully implemented by the end of that year. The changes are simple in that they apply a letter and number code to Motorways (M), roads of national significance (A) and roads of state significance (B). The numbers identify the different motorways or roads within each category. The changes will make navigation on major routes much simpler. For example, if want to drive to Broken Hill from Sydney, you will simply follow the A32 the whole way. If you want to drive from Sydney to Walgett you join the B55 and follow it through to Walgett. The changes are consistent with systems in most other states so that the same code will apply as roads cross into those states. Name changes will apply to some major roads, however the changes are not significant and should not have a major impact. More information is available on the RMS website.

The RTA has released a new website, Safer Roads NSW. The website is designed for the RTA to provide information and to receive feedback on the views of the community with regard to speed limits and speed limit signs on roads in NSW. NSW residents can also sign up to receive email updates about permanent speed limit changes in NSW regions. Worth a look. |
