A1 Photos
Home | Highway 1- National | VIC Section | M1 Princes Hwy/Fwy West
The Princes Hwy between Broderick Rd in Corio and Anglesea Rd in Waurn Ponds was initially designated as A1 in 1997. By mid 1998, a decision was made to include A1 section as an M route (M1), under the guideline set for M Routes - being routes which were dual carriageway, major regional connector - which this section of the Princes Hwy satisfied. Soon after, the A1 signs were promptly coverplated with M1.
The following are A1 signs during the initial introduction.
