Numberings scheme

edit

A brief explanation of the numbering scheme would be a informative addition to the article. (ie why aren't they numbered 1 to 28?) Mitch Ames (talk) 13:14, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

I haven't found any sources for this (reliable or otherwise), but I suspect its to avoid duplicating state route / national route / national highway numbers, which range from 1 to 138. They then seem to be grouped into the low 200's for Perth routes, the 250's for regional routes, and 350 to 360 for the longer tourist way routes – no idea why there's such large gaps though. But that is all just speculation, hence why there's no mention of it in the article. - Evad37 [talk] 14:55, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
