Seeing as (at time of writing this) none of the linked pages have been built yet, I'm going to put all highways on the one page - it can be separated into multiple lists by state if desired.--Chuq 22:37, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Note that within each state, the highways listed should be in alphabetical order. Some are, and some are not. Whenever I added one I put it in the right place. Could the next person to add to an unsorted list please sort it? Graham 01:13, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
What's the difference between the metropolitan roads given highway designations under Victoria (e.g. Hoddle Highway etc.) and say, the Burwood Highway, which is in the metropolitan area but is in the main list? Is it just a matter of lanes and so on? I'm just thinking that the difference in definition might be too fine. Correct me if I'm wrong. TPK 11:55, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Just added this section in after seeing a few on Australian Geographic Maps of Australia. I generally sourced the information from my own knowledge. Any objections? Boochan 10:17, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
There is an article entitled List_of_freeways_in_Australia which lists many of the same roads you have here. I'm not really sure what the difference in definition is. Is there some redundancy here or are one or both lists incorrect?
The state listings take you to pages that list the rural highways in each state and not the metropolitan highways. Also there is the freeway/highway/main road incongruency. What I am proposing for Western Australia is the following structure: two lists, being:
and six subcategories of Australian Highways:
I think this is more straitforward and of more encyclopaedic benefit. Opinions? Ian peters 04:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
shouldn't there be a map of some sort to illustrate this article? i know wikipedia isn't a travel guide, but still, just to illustrate the network? i imagine it would be quite surprising for people from, say, the US, to learn that there are so few highways in all but the south-east corner of the country. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • 15:02, 2 July 2006
This should probably be converted to an Nation Building Program network table given that the national highway network (and AUSlink) are now defunct. These highways having national shields is largely now an incident of history, and makes some big exclusions, such as the Pacific Highway in NSW which does receive federal funding. -- Nbound (talk) 02:32, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
I have marked some particularly troubling sentances in the article related to the issue:
National Highways and National Routes have been phased out, or are in the process of being phased out, in all[dubious – discuss] states and territories except Western Australia, in favour of the alphanumeric system (see below).
Is there any evidence of them being phased out altogether, or at all, in the NT? Also, there is National Highway 1 in Tasmania, and, SA, Vic, and Qld all use alphanumeric national highways - is there any evidence they will go down the NSW/ACT path of phasing out national highways?
As with the National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most[citation needed] states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes.
These routes still exist in WA, NT, Qld, and Vic (Melbourne) - thats hardly "most" states phasing/phased out, unless there is any evidence to the contrary. Both problems - and much of this article - would be helped if refs to reliable sources (not roadgeek websites) could be found - Evad37 (talk) 15:36, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
