Road Photos & Information: Victoria: Alphanumeric Routes

VicRoads explanation of the alphanumeric system is as follows (taken from the Linking Victoria brochure):
'M' Routes:
'M' roads (duplicated motorways) provide the primary road links that sustain economic and regional development. They connect Melbourne and other capital cities and major provincial centres, and they link major centres of production and manufacturing with Victoria's export terminals. 'M' roads provide a consistent high standard of driving conditions with divided carriageways, four traffic lanes, sealed shoulders and with delineation and linemarking that is easily visible in all weather conditions.
'A' Routes:
'A' roads serve the same role as 'M' roads but carry less traffic. These roads are usually built as single carriageways. 'A' roads provide a similar consistently high standard of driving conditions on a single carriageway.
'B' Routes:
'B' roads provide the primary link between major regions not served by 'A' roads, and highly significant tourism regions. They have strategic significance for Victoria. B' roads have sealed pavements wide enough for two traffic lanes, with good centreline and edge linemarking, shoulders and a high standard of guidepost delineation. Additional overtaking lanes are provided on higher traffic volume 'B' roads.
'C' Routes:
'C' roads provide the more important links between other centres of population, and between these centres and the primary transport network. 'C' roads generally are two lane sealed roads with shoulders.
Below are the various roads that this site has photos of. The routes are sorted by their route number, not their classification.
