Alphanumeric routes are the newest form of route numbering in the NT. Roads are numbered with A and B prefixes indicating the importance / standard of the route. At January 2019, the NT was still transitioning to alphanumeric route numbers, with a mix of shielded and alphanumeric signs dotted along numbered routes, or pointing to them.

The first alphanumeric route numbers appeared around 2003. According to the Department of Lands & Planning, the alphanumeric route numbers will be implemented progressively as signs are replaced under normal sign refurbishment programs. 1
