150km/h on freeways I rekon

why 150, why not unlimited like the autobahn =]

[Mohsen]

Because our roads are f**ked!

[xALmoN]

victoria needs to learn to build roads that do not kill rims and control arms before raising any speed limits.

[MUZT3K]

But in all seriousness, I dont know about other freeways but you should be able to raise the eastern to 110/115 comfortably

[WYTSKY]

^ I agree, biggest thing that sh*ts me on the eastern is people are doing 90 in the right lane, or others want to do 120, up your bum, and you have a ton of cars in front of you and it does not achieve anything.

I think overhead digital speed signs like in Johnson st, per lane that says the left and middle lanes = 100, right lane = 110/115

lol at the Monash just after peak. you have people doing 70-80 and others late for work doing 100.

[Miguelone]

I see no reason for the freeway to Geelong being 100 instead of 110 like it is on the way to Ballarat. Geelong has a far better freeway.

[interfooler]

2 outer lanes on freeway like Eastern and Monash should be set to at least 120 while the inner two lanes can remain at 100.

[EeLeYe]

The road works signs seem to never be removed at end of shift. So, after hours, according to the speed signs, I'm having to do 40 in a 70 zone...

Coming from the airport, just after the burnley tunnel, the variable speed limit is always 80, despite being a freeway and lacking any vehicles besides my own. Do they even monitor these roads? Or is it just timed?
