List of highways in Tasmania

The Highways in Tasmania generally expand from Hobart and other major cities with secondary roads interconnecting the highways to each other. Functions of these highways include freight, personal travel and tourism. The AusLink Network currently consists of the Midland, Bass and the East Tamar Highway. Two of the busiest roads, The Tasman and Brooker Highway manage over 60,000 and 40,000 cars a day respectively.cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://stca.tas.gov.au/downloads/2006/04-linear-infrastructure.pdf | title = Linear Infrastructure | publisher = Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources | accessdate = 2007-04-30] The State government and many southern councils are currently lobbying to have these highways declared as part of the network.

Tasmanian highway naming is straightforward. Most are generally named after the geographical regions and features, cities, towns and settlements along the way.

Excluding the old National Highway (Brooker, Midland, Bass), Tasmanian routes have been marked with the alphanumeric marking scheme since 1979 . Prior to this Tasmanian roads were markerd with a National and State Route Numbering System.

This is the list of highways in Tasmania, Australia. It covers 53 Major Roads.
