'''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 the [[Cumberland Highway]] 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 M1 [[Princes Motorway]] 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. During 2013, Metroad 1 will be replaced with alphanumeric routes M1 (motorway sections) and A1 (non-motorway sections).<ref>http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadprojects/projects/alpha_numeric/sydney.html Information for Sydney - Alpha-numeric route numbers - Road Projects - Roads and Maritime Services</ref> |
