The **West Tamar Highway** is a highway in [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania), Australia. It covers the western edge of the [Tamar River](/source/Tamar_River_(Tasmania)), from [Launceston](/source/Launceston%2C_Tasmania) to the beach town of [Greens Beach](/source/Greens_Beach%2C_Tasmania).

It is labelled as state route **A7**.

## Major intersections

Four shielded routes terminate at the intersections of streets in the Launceston CBD. Because all the involved streets are one-way each route has separate inbound and outbound termini.[2] One of these routes is the West Tamar Highway. Distances from each terminus to a point on the route may not be identical. Those shown below are from the outbound terminus.
