I live local to this and have been following it in the local media too. Also I drive these streets most days.
The RMS has stated (in a local paper I think) they have no immediate plans to rename George Street and Jersey Road to Pacific Highway but may in the future. The Pacific Highway main road route has followed George Street and Jersey Road for many years already.

So this means that those > sections of George Street and Jersey Road need their names changed to > 'Pacific Highway'. Assume their numbers remain the same too? We should be a little careful here. There is a a Pacific Highway main road route, like there is a Princes Highway main road route. You can see those here.. http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/doingbusinesswithus/downloads/lgr/reg_table_for_in ternet_31jan11.pdf However, this doesn't mean the actual street names will change. The chances are that George Street and Jersey Road will remain names as these, Of course, if the RMS choose to whack up new signs, then we'll change it in OSM. See, for example City Road at Broadway, and King Street leading on from it, which as far as the RMS is concerned form part of the Princes Highway for administrative purposes, but road names are as signposted.
