List of old road routes in Victoria

This is a list of old road routes in Victoria, Australia "before" the state switched to the alpha-numeric system in the late 1990s. Some routes, in part or in their entirety, may have been made obsolete by the alpha-numeric designation: these are noted but not listed in full here. Some also may follow older alignments or routes later changed even after the new system was introduced, and are included here for the sake of completion. Roads are described in either a west-east or north-south alignment.
