Melbourne's New Freeway Exit Signs

[sammygee]

Hi Drivers,

A new freeway exit numbering system has been developed to help unfamiliar drivers and tourists navigate Melbourne's extensive freeway network.

VicRoads has posted an instructional video on YouTube, with details on the new numbering system.

Please watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/vicroads#p/u/3/weYFUabIQxU

In the interests of full disclosure, I am getting the word out on behalf of VicRoads.

Thank You.

at 0:55, i see what looks like a white gt-r.

lol.

[HEKT1K]

1. 2 cars with same number plate

2. blue commodore fair cuts off that truck doesn't he?! If i indicated like that, for a small fraction of a second, i'd be sure to cop some punishment

3. GTR appears to be fanging it lol

[xALmoN]

btw, shouldnt this be in the vic section? doesn't have anything to do with the rest of australia imo.

[alr33x]

[MUZT3K]

lol what a waste of money..i like how they make the gtr look like it flys past

@ 1:28 Huntingdale Rd Exit doesn't have an E in front of it, just 8.

Good. Would have thought a numbering system was a pretty obvious freeway feature........

Annoying in vic on the freeways when the sign says a different road to the cross road, you only realise you missed your exit when you see the little sign on the bridge telling you what cross road it is

LOL that video is hilarious. GTR speeding, blue car sticking it to the truck...fantastic!

[bluejeans]

wow.. thats just f**king stupid.

what is wrong with what is already there.. the signs which say the name or the exits already.... or i guess that's too straight forward and logical..

vic roads wasting more $$$ - they should fix the f**king roads instead of stupid numbers

[PENGUYEN]

Gt-r flying down on the right lane. NICE. GG.

[Ruffels]

pretty sure none of the cars indicated enough before changing lanes! lol

It's actually a REALLY good idea. The US have done it like this for a long time and it makes it extremely easy to workout what exit to get of at if you're from out of town or not familiar with the freeways. If you know you have to get of at exit 8 and you're driving past exit 6 you know exactly how many exits you have until you need to be prepared to exit etc.

ROFLOL hahah @ GTR boosting it

but this is actually a very good idea i have been waiting for this.

i use to live in the UK and for the people who know everything there is numbered =/

but i think its great i like it would make things bit easier

More like in the interests of promoting your crappy advertising campain you created for VicRoads

IDC what other countries do - We need road conditions improved.

son of rajab knows the pricks rake in enough money with speed camera's to be able to afford it.

And now everyone has to go buy new melways or GPS's (if they are not updatable)

Another waste of taxpayers money.

Kinda off-topic but why the fk expand the M1 with more lanes then reduce the speed limit to 80km/hr?!?! F F S

to catch you unawares when you drive by thinking its still a 100kmh limit

Exactly right. Works really well in the UK and certainly made life in the French speaking part of Canada a lot easier knowing our exit was in 94 exit's time when you don't have the Canada maps in the loan GPS, cough cough....

[VSPECT]

lol to the GTR flying past...hahaha...

[JEPPE]

I get lost even when I know the area so this does nothing for me lolled big time at GTR though, 200+ kmph?
