The Merke – Shu – Burylbaytal road in Zhambyl region is designated as KZ08-04, where "08" denotes the region, and "04" is the number of the road within the region.The highway indexes assigned under international agreements, such as "E" and "AN", will remain unchanged, which ensures consistency in the international transport system and convenience for transit traffic.The list, names and indexes of highways can be found at the link: https://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/V1500011402 .The development of a new indexing system was carried out by KazdorNII JSC.The road signs will be updated gradually as planned work is carried out and worn-out elements are replaced.No additional funds are required for this, the work will be carried out within the framework of road maintenance.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/transport/press/news/details/888471
