[talk-au] A22 route Sydney

[Michael James]

A search for rms route numbers leads here

Sydney local map is here
https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/using-roads/alpha-numeric/regions.html#Sydney

Map shows A36 and A22 end on each other and do not continue past each other.

Confusion will arise as a search for rms listed highway gives this document

But if you read the start it mentions that the route numbers  DO NOT line up with named highways.

I was checking A22 route in Sydney and found out some possible irregularity.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-33.88462/151.19843

By looking at Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_road_routes_in_New_South_Wales City Road - Broadway junction should be logical start of A22 route.

On the other hand https://www.ozroads.com.au/ suggest that is should start from Lee street, Pitt Street junction with George Street but no sign indicates this.

And, at the end, OSM has route start/end point at Broadway.

What is confusing is that there are two sings that shows that A22 continues further than junction with A36 route but just up to next junction (Broadway - Abercrombie Street).

The one in Broadway street is confusing because it points to City South, but if you go in that direction you will end up in Central Sydney. I just want to check what is the correct start point of A22 route.

Also, what is questionable is road classification from City Road - Broadway junction up to George Street Lee Street junction, because it does not look as trunk.

I have attached illustration of described problem so it is easier to get the picture of the problem: https://prnt.sc/qyxy5o
