Road routes in Queensland assist drivers navigating roads throughout the state, by identifying important through-routes. Queensland is in the process of converting to an alphanumeric route numbering system, with a letter denoting the importance and standard of the route. The previous shield-based system consisted of various route types – national highways, national routes, and state routes – with each type depicted by a different route marker design. Some routes have been converted to the alphanumeric system, while other routes are being maintained as shield-based routes – but with signs designed to be subsequently retrofitted with a replacement alphanumeric route. Tourist drives will continue to use a shield-based system.

State Routes State Routes on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and in regional Queensland are mostly numbered separately from those of Brisbane. This came into effect in the mid to late 1990s, and some remnants of the old system still remain. All routes east of the Pacific Motorway (then Pacific Highway) and north of the Nerang River changed numbering.
The changes made on the Gold Coast included: 87 changed to 2 86 changed to 10 (to Southport) and 3 (to Burleigh) 95 changed to 4 97 changed to 20 59 changed to 24
