Bitch from Hell
I need to know some roads in the Auckland region - Rural or other that have both formal names (e.g. SH43, Ohura Road) and Colloquial/common names e.g. Forgotten Highway. I need this information ASAP for a little project I am doing.
Your help is appreciated
Regards

Whip it, whip it good!
State Highway One runs through Warkworth. It is called Browns Road, Auckland Road and Great North Road, but is SH1 the whole way.

SH22 is known as the goat track.
I like bikes
So is Paekakariki Hill Road

No, that would be The Goat Track Of Death.

What's the proper name for the Watertower Hill Road?

The instructions are simple...
Dowse Drive?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Double shot!!
"The Rotomas" = State Highway 30, 42km north of Rotorua.

"The East Cape Loop" = State Highway 35, east of Opotiki.

"The Waioeka Gorge" = State Highway 2, south of Opotiki.
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=-...4,1.768799&z=9
edit: er, none of these locations have cellphone coverage either. The Rotomas do - VF and Telecom coverage 2km to the south.
This sort of stuff should be in a wiki. A pity mere mortals don't get to edit it.

i was thinking a sticky thread might be a good idea, and then it could cover nationwide.

The Great South Rd to South Auckland has an unusual name, when I was a kid and dad was driving there he used to call it "Wind-up-the-windows-and-lock-the-fucking-doors"

The Coro loop is the Coro loop. Not many non bikers would get that. We ride it clockwise or counter clockwise
