One way is to start an inner irb session on
ActionController::Routing::Routes

$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.1)

irb ActionController::Routing::Routes
recognize_path(“/”)
=> {:controller=>“people”, :action=>“index”}
recognize_path(“/login”)
=> {:controller=>“session”, :action=>“new”}
generate(:controller=>“people”, :action => “index”)
=> “/people”

This should work with Rails 1.2.x as well as Rails 2.0.x

Rails 2.0.x also has a rake task to list the routes:

$rake routes
