Sounds like you'll need an up-to-date and accurate map reflecting what
is on the sign, as well as showing the old_name when searched for.

It depends how it's implemented.
It can be a major pain in the backside if there is a conflict between
a) the name you know b) the name the sign says and/or c) the name a
service such as Google Maps says. (Or d) electronic signs warning of
roadworks on some random route number on such and such a date.) If
they consistently give, say, the old name and the route number in
brackets, that would be fine. That's not my experience of it in Vic,
though.
Names are more memorable than numbers

Yay.... Best. News. Ever. Just saw it on Channel 9 news.
I can't believe the state Labor opposition labels this a "waste of
money"... given they endorsed it years ago and spent the last 10
years erecting road signs all over NSW with the MAB routes already on
them, and covered them all with temporary cover-plates. Idiots.
The 9 News report says we'll see the new names starting to appear in
January, and will be complete by the end of 2013.

We should be completely ready to go by March 2013, I think.
Not clear how long the transition will be.
Ian.
