The Gold Coast attracts tourists from around the world and is one of Australia's leading tourist destinations. Most of the city is bypassed by the Pacific Motorway (M1 Motorway) which continues from Metroad 3 at Eight Mile Plains. The former route of the Pacific Highway through the Gold Coast has been renamed as the Gold Coast Highway.
Under this act, Gold Coast Highway was declared as State Highway 31 on 1 May 2009, from the state border with Queensland to the interchange with Pacific Motorway at Tweed Heads West, subsuming the former alignment of State Highway 10 (the Pacific Highway, which was re-declared to use the Tugun bypass). [7]
The Pacific Motorway continues on south from the M1 into New South Wales, while the Bruce Highway continues further north from the M1 up the Queensland coast. Both of these roads and the M1 itself are part of the line of route of National Highway 1 , although M1 signage is used for that part of the corridor.
The 1-kilometre-long (0.62 mi) older bypassed alignment along Tweed Heads Bypass (opened 1992) towards the border at Coolangatta was gazetted as Gold Coast Highway instead, extending the already existing Gold Coast Highway in Queensland, into New South Wales. [20] [21] The Tugun Bypass was handed over to the NSW government in June 2018. [22]
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.
