Eastlink Is Awesome!

[ITZTRU]

I had a good run i was the only car in the tunnel. Well worth seeing at night guys...

I agree, night run should be pretty cool

Great piece of road. A few complaints on bottle necks already present. Once you get to Frankston, you'll sit in bumper to bumper traffic which is caused by the traffic lights at the end of the Frankston freeway. The other complaints is going from 100km/h down to 60km/h into the tunnel heading north towards Mitcham. There was 2 'incidents' today with people jumping on the brakes. They really do need t oraiser the speed limit through the tunnels if they want the whole system to work correctly. They are banked up either side of the tunnels, very silly.

My car was in the Channel 10 feature

P plater+bmw+from mt martha=cockhead with rich parents, no ympathy.

man i doubt he was rich. it looked like a shitty 1998 3 series or something. barely even 20k

the guy only got a 1month suspention, $450 fine and 4 points.

wdh i thought 25kms+ was a auto 1 year suspension or something?

oh and just incase some ppl have missed it, should come along for the East Link Cruise =D

didnt say he was rich, more likely his parents bought it for him.

Have not been on p's in a long time but when i was it was 30+k's (now 25) was automatic 1 month, i got done twice back in the day in the 110 section heading out to gippsland.

[R34NRG]

meh.......fair nuff

[W0rp3D]

i use to live in mt martha (sort of) with a few mates, met a few people from the rich part of mt martha and none of them did much for them selves, always wondered why they were working at places like safeway but had new cars and the latest and greatest of everything, turns out mummy and daddy pay for everything, maybe thats the way it is, i was thrown out of home when i was 15 so i have had to work for everything, piss's me off to see people like that get a free ride and do nothing with it.

Eastlink just creates more traffic. LOL!

Went on it this afternoon with the Street Reapers and cars everywhere and everyone driving average about 60 to 80 in a 100km zone...

But its a very smooth road tho.

yeah packed before...went up and back...only heavy in the tunnel city direction. Pretty quick to get everywhere.

As for the 5mil spent on the art..meh 5mil is sweet fa. still looks gay, especially that bird wtf is that suposed to represent?

[W0rp3D]

they say it is going to ease traffic congestion in peak hour, cant see that happening, just going to be another place that is going to feed even more traffic onto the eastern and monash in bulk and make another bottle neck on an already over loaded access route to the city.

in non peak periods it will be great getting from the south east to the east but they need to do something more about peak hour.

doesnt take a genius to work out where the bottle nexk will be on the eastern during peak hour.

[Basti]

Well i just went on the new Eastlink. Not bad

I had a good run i was the only car in the tunnel. Well worth seeing at night guys...

The bird is representative of S.Bracks legacy to Victorian taxpayers....Superfluous crap.

It's a road not a new annex of the n.g.v.

Glad you're not in charge of the government coffers and hopefully/probably never will be.

[Do-Luck]

So has anyone gated the tunnel yet?

[i2icho]

The Eastlink is pretty cool imo went on this morning about 8:30am got on at Burwood Hwy to the city. took less than 20 mins to get to the end of Alexander pde from Wantirna was pretty stoked with that. Been waiting long enough for the road so it should be worth all the wait

5m is not much. I burn more than 5m a year in PMO activity only.
