In 2010 a new numbering system for the National Highway network was introduced. The new numbering system is based on the orientation (east-west and north-south) and the geographic location of the highway. Still for many highways the old highway number is used.

Naming rules

1. For now our standard rule is keep the old NH-number in the primary street name until user reports or pictures (road signs) give evidence that the new number is being used. The new number can be added as alternative street name. If the new highway name is really used the new NH-number should be used as primary street name and the old NH-number goes to the alternative name.
2. If the highway is used by more than one highway or. The lesser highway number goes to the primary name and the higher number should be registered as alternative name.
   

Use as street name notation NH-# where # stands for the highway number, like NH-72.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is the national government agency that is responsible for the highways.

Asian Highway Network

Several Asian Highways are running across India.
Use AH plus number (without a hyphen) as street name notation.
Examples: AH1, AH42.
