Melbourne's New Freeway Exit Signs

[sneakey pete]

Nothing against exit signs, but if people are so stupid that they need how they work explained to them, are they going to be able to use them anyway?

[TurboDoseBro]

LOL woman advertisers nobody takes them seriously when there are no boobs too stare at.

This Freeway exit sign system has been working in Singapore for the past 25+ years. About time VicRoad learn from the rest of the world.

An upgrade of our road surface would be something the government should really look at especially roads in Melbourne inner city. Pot holes and bumps everywhere.

it's a good idea.

-benefits people who don't drive on fwys often or only use certain fwys. (for one, i rarely use the monash or any of the west side fwys.)

-helps new drivers, drive instead of reading signs. numbering system is far easier to read, if you know you want to take exit 8 and you just passed exit 5, you don't have to be in the left lane just yet. only requires a glance.

-helps asians get in the correct fking lane.

-reduces complexity of directions. (jump on the monash from warrigal, take exit 13....)

-helps interstate drivers and tourists. if i went up to sydney, it would be nice to read an easy numbering system instead of replying on names i wont remember and have no need remembering.

Because you're not supposed to be using your iPhone while driving.

actually wankers, I once missed an exit on the Tullamarine freeway, and somehow managed to drive from Broadmeadows back into the city and over the West Gate bridge :S, I'm glad for something like this, cause it can be really confusing, esp trying to cross the city to places like Dandenong. I get sick of having to refer to a GPS AND street directory!

[slinky-minky]

I actually like the new signage idea. I know my way around Melbourne reasonably well (I'm from Bendigo) but when we take Brenton's FTO to Melbourne it usually results him yelling "what fkn exit am I taking" "Flemington road, read the signs" "I can't I'm watching for traffic"

LOL at the white GT-R. Loving the way it just flies by. Probably not good for our reputation though. "Look it's a Skyline...It must be speeding...Pull them over"

The blue Commodore- If I did that in front of a truck I'd get my butt kicked, plus it's just damn annoying. Stupid gold Kia something or other did that to me this morning, it thought it was going faster then me, then realised their car couldn't get that far in front of me and they were heading for the arse of a truck.

Another victim!!!

[JEPPE]

f**k signs! I think instead they should spend the money on cheapening gps' then no one would have any problem going anywhere! Not even on normal roads! You wouldn't even need signs!!

[bozodos]

yeah wasnt all bad though Arthur, this was back in my V8 hoon days, and I found a Harley to have an epic battle with

Ever driven CBD Adelaide?

Melbourne roads are 10x better

Tell Vic Roads to f**king widen the bridge on citylink inbound on the monash so we can use the frigging right hand lane from bourke road into the city

[ARTZ]

Yeah i just came back from a trip to Adelaide the south eastern freeway is a work of art , pity about the rest of the city, and i swear all the drivers are on valium or something..U guys think our 40 zones are bad over there they are 25...And all the zones that should be 80 are 60 ..And whats even weirder is the buses drive on tram tracks....

Put that together with their import hating police and Melbourne seems not so bad...

[JEPPE]

yeah but there's no one in Adelaide to care

[slinky-minky]

Hmm...I will cross Adelaide off my possible place to visit list. I hate 40 zones! and I would probably get done 25 over the limit and loose my license if I went to Adelaide.Seriously you may as well just get the hell out and walk.

Charlene- That's a freaking brilliant idea. My GPS is only 2-3 years old, went to Tarneit and couldn't find anything..stupid GPS with it's crappy maps, but the crappier part is the unit cost me $140....new maps are $160!

Or another suggestion is possibly fixing all those huge holes in the Calder freeway between Kyneton and Sunbury/Diggers Rest exit there is that many holes, whole lanes closed and traffic dropped to 60 because it's so bad. I know where the holes are now so I just move around them but you see unsuspecting peoples front ends dip or people loose control momentarily

[xALmoN]

Well, actually, the signs are a good initiative, but googlemaps and the road signs there at the road physically don't tally, i don't know which to trust!

Doubt many will be interested, but ever tried NOT driving in the/a city? Country Vic roads are appalling. I literally cannot drive in any direction where there isn't a f***** road for more that 10+ km, then you might get a good section for a few hundred metres, then it's f***** again, and I live in a town of 15,000+ population. Should get a vid of the kind of stuff i'm talking about...

The best bit is the "repairs". You know, the signs recommending you do 60km/h in a hundred zone, that stay there for 6+ months? Or the gravel/tar mix poured over the holes so you get it all down the side of your car and the hole re-appears anyways?

Rahhhgargblearghhahah
