[edit] Tasmania
While the overall quality of Tasmania's Highway network has been constructed to a high standard, its grade separated Freeway network is limited. In the past, Hobart and Launceston have each had comprehensive transport studies conducted, proposing Grade separated Freeways running through and around them. While some of these roads have been constructed, the majority are limited access featuring At-grade intersections. Devonport and Burnie are the only major population centres with Freeway standard roads linking each other. There has been repeated proposals in recent years to fully upgrade the Midland Highway to grade separated Freeway standards.[2][3]
This List is limited to Tasmania's Freeway standard Roads.
