NORTHERN TERRITORY: Route Numbering

Northern Territory essentially operates with a two-tier system of route marking, comprising the National Routes and Highways as well as a State Route system.
Both systems of route marking have been around since the late 1980s, although signposting of the State Route system has never been fully implemented.
The Northern Territory is preparing for the implementation of an alpha-numeric route marking system, in line with the Australia-wide slow conversion to this form of route marking. Although some isolated alpha-numeric route marking signage has been installed near Darwin, the system is still a long way from being fully implemented on the ground.

No routes have been decommissioned, as far as I can tell.
