You're not going to win any way you change the route references. On the ground, around the Tuggerah Interchange alone are references to Nat Route 1, M1, Pacific Motorway etc. Note that the freeway is referenced as M1 from Wyong Rd (B74) but on the freeway it's still NR1. B74 only seems to be referenced at the interchange. If you only edit as per what's on the ground, how do you edit that?
