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:

    “Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–62)

    “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)

    “Let us put an end to self-inflicted wounds. Let us remember that our national unity is a most priceless asset. Let us deny our adversaries the satisfaction of using Vietnam to pit Americans against Americans.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “The land of joy, the lovely glades of the fortunate woods and the home of the blest.”
    —Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)

    “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)

    “A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
    —Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
