'''Metroad 1''' is a major metropolitan arterial route, called a [[Metroad]], in [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. The Metroad route signage, introduced in October 1993, is intended to make it easier for road users to follow cross-metropolitan routes which use parts of many different roads. Metroad 1 runs from its intersection with [[Metroad 7]] at Pearces Corner at [[Wahroonga, New South Wales|Wahroonga]] south-east to the [[central business district| Sydney CBD]] then from the CBD south-west to the commencement of the F6 [[Southern Freeway]] at [[Waterfall, New South Wales|Waterfall]]. |
|||
The introduction of the Metroad designation replaced [[Highway 1 (Australia)|National Route 1]] signage, from October 1993. |
|||
Between Artarmon and Sydney Airport, Metroad 1 also forms part of the Sydney Orbital Motorway. |
