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.

1. 2 cars with same number plate :P

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

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

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

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.

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....

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
