Auckland Urban Route Network
The Auckland urban route network consists of strategic and primary arterial roads across the Auckland Region of New Zealand. Urban routes are signposted with white shields with black numbers and borders. To avoid conflict with state highway numbering, there are no urban routes numbered 1, 2, 16, 18, 20, or 22. Urban route shields are commonly found on signage at motorway interchanges and major urban intersections. The shields are accompanied by supplementary plates with arrows to direct road users along the route. Sometimes more than one urban route shield will be included on a signpost. Freestanding urban route shields are also used between intersections as reassurance that the driver is still following the route. Urban routes This is a list of current posted urban routes in Auckland. Outside Auckland The same shield is occasionally employed elsewhere for "Regional Route" roads. These include the route UR1 in New Plymouth, the former route K in Tauranga (now SH29), and r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
