Managed Motorways
Melbourne is growing faster than any other city in Australia and to accommodate this growth we’re using world-first technology to make our roads work smarter so that you can get to where you need to be sooner
Up to 50% of our trips on the road happen on freeways. That’s why some of our busiest freeways are managed motorways, with smart technology that allows you to get the most out of every square inch of road.
Variable speed signs, ramp signals, travel time signs, vehicle sensors and CCTV cameras are all part of a dynamic traffic system that responds in real time to what’s happening on the road at any point in time.
As we grow to a city of 8 million people, we’ll need to accommodate millions more trips every day. The best way to do this is by managing our freeways as one smart and inter-connected network.
