>>All  Major Highways  will be  single digit or double digit  in number. >> Three digit  numbered highways are  secondary routes or  branches  of a main highway. >> All North-South highways will carry EVEN number >>All East-West highways will have ODD numbers >> North-South highways will increase their numbers from East to West . For example, a  particular North-South highway in Central India or Western India will have a higher number  than the one in East India . For e.g. NH4 is somewhere in East India where as highway 44 may  be towards the west of India while both runs north-south due to the even numbering . >>Similarly East-West highways will increase their numbers as we move from North to South . For e.g. NH1 will be running East-West somewhere in North India while NH 83 may be  somewhere down south . Note: There may be confusion among some roads that may be running diagonally in stretches.
