National Highway Route Numbering
In addition to the network of Federally-funded National Highways defined in 1974, there was also a system of "national routes". This scheme, which predated the national highways in 1953, was a plan to coordinate State road authorities to allocate consistent highway numbers to major highways which traversed more than one State, for the convenience of travellers. The most notable example is "Highway 1", which follows the periphery of the continent, and only parts of which form part of the former National Highway and current National Land Transport (Roads) Network.

Up the spun highway of a vanishing hill

of escape open: no route shut,”

Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry.”
