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....

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
