 New England Highway
When some of the highways in Australia were designated as national highways in the 1970s, the New England Highway was considered to be the most suitable route to be the main highway linking New South Wales and Queensland.
However, due to increasing population and development in the North Coast region of New South Wales, it is the coastal Pacific Highway which is being upgraded to four-lane motorway standards while the inland New England Highway languishes.
Thus, the New England Highway is the fastest route from Sydney to Brisbane as it avoids busy coastal towns and hence interstate freight traffic is heavy.

In 1922, a consistent numbering system was established for major roads across New England, intended as a more usable replacement to the previous system: color-coded bands on telegraph poles.
Highway commissioners, hotel associations and members of the Automobile Club of America worked on a solution for this, culminating in an early April 1922 conference in New York announcing a proposed uniform numbering system for the entire United States.
At the time of the conference, New England highway departments had already adopted the system, with Connecticut already painting signs for Route 1.
