 Metroads of Sydney
Metroads are divided up into two types - radial Metroads, which connect the outer suburbs with the city centre of Sydney; and circumferential Metroads, which are major by-pass routes around the Metropolitan area.
The Metroad system is in a continual process of refinement; routes are continually expanding and contracting and are often being adjusted.
Freeway portions of the Metroads are in green.

Another example is on Metroad 9, where there is a 60 km/h zone on the Northern Road on the outskirts of Narellan (wide lanes, shoulders, overtaking lane), but an 80 km/h zone on the section of Northern Road near Badgerys Creek (2 narrow lanes, no shoulders).

 Floodgap Roadgap -- Australian Highways (New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory)
For their respective parts, Sydney and Brisbane have Metroads, derived from partial local routings of state and national routes, consisting of city-specific beltway and radial highways and freeways designed to facilitate easy destination-oriented navigation; Canberra and ACT have coloured Tourist Route signage that allows designated access to popular termini.
The Metroads are various designated routes in Sydney for point-to-point local transit, varying from full freeway to multi-lane traffic-light controlled expressway.
Radial Metroads connect the city centre to the suburbs, and circumferential Metrods act as bypasses.

Brisbane's shortest Metroad, the Logan Motorway offers motorists a quick line between Ipswich and the M1 or Pacific Motorway at Loganholme, with Metroad 6 connecting with Metroad 4 (Logan and Gateway Motorways) at Drewvale.
The Motorway is four lanes (2 in each direction), and there is 2 toll plazas on the Metroad 4 section: Stapylton Road and Loganlea Road before the roadway becomes toll free for the run between Meadowbrook and Loganholme.

 Metroad 5 Did You Mean metroad?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Metroad 5 (M5) is a main arterial route linking Sydney's city centre to its south western suburbs and beyond.
Finally in 2003, the state government opened a new, completely grade seperated interchange at Moorebank Avenue, meaning that not only the entire length of Metroad 5 is now freeway standard, but the entire route from Canberra to Sydney is now high speed dual carriageway.
While the entire route is officially referred to as the "M5", colloquially, most only refer to the South Western Motorway and M5 East sections as the "M5", continuing to refer to the remander as the "F5" or as the Hume Highway.

 Digital Kaleidoscope » M2 Signage Updated for Westlink M7
Upon the opening of the Westlink M7 Motorway on 16 Dec 2005, we expected Metroad 7 to be re-signed as the first alphanumeric route, A7/M7 and re-routed along the Westlink M7.
Metroad 6 has been extended north from the Pennant Hills Rd/Marsden Rd intersection to the Pennant Hills Rd/M2 interchange
Presumably, Metroad 7 no longer exists south of the Pennant Hills Rd/M2 interchange (or at least, signage marking that route has started to disappear) and the whole route now exists as just the M7 route number for most of its length
