List Of Road Routes In Queensland
Road routes in Queensland assist drivers navigating roads throughout the state, by identifying important through-routes. Queensland is in the process of converting to an alphanumeric route numbering system, with a letter denoting the importance and standard of the route. The previous shield-based system consisted of various route types – national highways, national routes, and state routes – with each type depicted by a different route marker design. Some routes have been converted to the alphanumeric system, while other routes are being maintained as shield-based routes – but with signs designed to be subsequently retrofitted with a replacement alphanumeric route. Tourist drives will continue to use a shield-based system. Unless stated otherwise, all information in this article is derived from Google Maps.
