 | | For example, on Metroad 3, a 70 km/h limit applies on Mona Vale Road, Pymble (6-lane divided road with central crash barrier - see photo 1, page 17) but the same limit also applies on King Georges Road, Hurstville (4 lanes, undivided with more frequent access - see photo 2, page 17). |
 | | 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). |
