National Highway (Australia) - Urban Components of The National Land Transport (Road) Network

Urban Components of The National Land Transport (Road) Network

  • Sydney: Only a subset of the network of motorways, "Metroads" and other highways and major roads in the Sydney metropolitain area are part of the current National Land Transport (Roads) Network, the rest are not part of the national network and therefore the Federal Government does not contribute funding on the same basis. The following roads in and around Sydney are currently part of the designated National Land Transport Network
    • The Hume Highway ( South Western Motorway ) from Melbourne to the junction of the M7 and M5 at Prestons, continuing on the M5 toll road to General Holmes Drive (near Kyeemagh) and then Foreshore Road to its junction with Botany Road.
    • The Cumberland Highway ( Pennant Hills Road ), between the junction with the M2 Hills motorway at Carlingford, and the junction at the commencement of the Sydney-Newcastle F3 freeway at Wahroonga. Note: The 2005 network included a route comprising a small part of the old Hume Highway from Prestons to Liverpool, the Cumberland Highway from Liverpool to Northmead, part of James Ruse Drive, and Pennant Hills Road from North Parramatta to the F3 junction at Wahroonga. Almost all of this route, except the connection between the M2 and F3 motorways at the northern end, was removed from the national network in 2007, due to the openning of the M7/M2 route as an alternative.
    • The Sydney-Newcastle freeway, north from Wahroonga.
    • The whole of the M7 motorway, from its junction with the F5/M5 at Prestons, to Seven Hills, and then the part of the M2 Hills motorway from Seven Hills to the junction of the Cumberland Highway ( Pennant Hills Road ) at Carlingford.
    • King Georges Road, from its connection to the Princes Highway at Blakehurst, thence Wiley Avenue, thence Roberts Road to its intersection with the Hume Highway at Greenacre.(Chullora?)
    • The Princes Highway from its intersection with King Georges Road at Blakehurst, the Southern Freeway (F6) to Bulli Tops, thence Mt Ousley Road to its intersection with the F6 at Mt Ousley, thence the Southern Freeway (F6) to its intersection with the Northern Distributor at Gwynneville (Wollongong).
    • The M4 Western Motorway, between Strathfield and Emu Plains, continuing onto the Great Western Highway towards Dubbo. The portion of the M4 between Eastern Creek and Strathfield was only added in 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words urban, components, national, land, transport and/or network:

    “A peasant becomes fond of his pig and is glad to salt away its pork. What is significant, and is so difficult for the urban stranger to understand, is that the two statements are connected by an and and not by a but.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “The progress
    Is permanent like the preordained bulk
    Of the First National Bank
    Like fish sauce, but agreeable.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed.”
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    “One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
