lol isn't there like 24 cash cameras on this road with about 14 varying speed changes?

Should be called "Cash Link" as far as I am concerned if they were all time lapsed with no variance in speeds it would be legit.

Yeah theres tons of cameras on it. The excuse was that because its a new road they want to slow people down untill they learn it.

ummm im not sure whr u got 5 months early from... it was meant to be finished in mid june anyway... so opening early doesnt worry me one bit.

Minux, a guy my dad knows said that the toll cameras are already operating, and each time they drive on it, they got pinged for it.... funny isnt it... and in the first yr that it will be open, it will have payed for itself.

isn't it 100km/h speed limit from one end to the other end??

I have no need to go to Frankston or Ringwood, so i doubt i'll use it. I'll stick to the normal roads i usually take. Hopefully there will be less people on the roads i normally take now with this stupid thing opening up.

I'd love to watch the traffic jams on it the first few mornings it is open.

I think it drops down to 80km/h in some spots.

[Grennan]

Yeah theres a couple of tunnels and what not around. It does drop to 80 in a number of spots im told. No doubt there will be a camera at every speed change.

Stuff that.

Well atleast people have a choice of where to loose their licenses now.

Take the Geelong Speed Camera Tour, or the Eastlink Tour.
