- This may extend to a wider scope of New Zealand highways generally. There is precedent with the Inland Kaikōura Road (Route 70) and Inland Scenic Route (Route 72) articles, which used to be SH 70 and SH 72 repectively.

With regards to the former state highways of 70 and 72, those are names of official touring routes. Ajf773 (talk) 08:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
