Continued from Page 1 Mr Billson said there had been an “arm-wrestle over which tourist destinations were judged by VicRoads to be ‘regionally significant’. Signs will point to Frankston Arts Centre, Peninsula Aquatic and Recreational Centre in Frankston, McClelland Sculpture Park, and the Mornington Peninsula wine region�. In January he said there had been “unacceptable delays� in getting the signs installed. “This has been an exasperating experience.� Mr Billson said he was told

signs had not been installed during freeway construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way [Lend Lease] consortium. The PPP contract will have to be altered to reflect the installation of the signs. In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private public partnership with the freeway builder, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority.

THE 80km/h speed restrictions on Peninsula Link freeway near the Baxter twin freeway service centres will revert to 100km/h when the northbound servo is opened, says a Peninsula Link spokeswoman. The southbound servo opened in late July but the speed limit on the freeway remains at 80. In July, a spokesman for service centre owner AA Holdings said it was hoped the northbound centre would be “ready by December�. The two centres are costing AA Holdings about $30 million including two new lanes on a freeway bridge as well as on and off ramps. The final task at the northbound centre will be to asphalt the entry and exit ramps, work which is weatherdependent. The spokeswoman said it was hoped the speed limit could be returned to 100 before holiday traffic began building in December. Southbound traffic has been required to travel at 80 either side of the service centre since it opened. An evening peak bottleneck can occur, but this is minimised by many drivers who ignore the 80 limit. Restoration of the 100 limit will be vital to traffic flow, according to one regular user. “It doesn’t take much to clog it up,� the woman commuter said. “The 80 restriction could be a big problem if it is not lifted by December, especially on the southbound side for traffic heading down to the peninsula. “I can just imagine the snarls that cars towing boats and caravans rejoining the freeway from the service centre

will cause. The exit road seems too short for traffic to get back up to highway speed before they need to merge,� she said. The length of the exit ramps is controversial as Mornington Peninsula Shire called for an investigation into its length in 2013 before then planning minister Matthew Guy approved a scaled-down version of the twin centres in February 2014. The council had earlier knocked back the centres, a decision later confirmed by the state planning tribunal VCAT. Objectors and shire officers said the southbound ramp was not long enough for trucks and towing vehicles to attain a safe speed to rejoin the freeway. “The road safety audit conducted by the service station operators, AA Holdings, stipulates that the speed limit at both service centres should remain at 80km/h until the final stage of asphalting on the ramps is complete,� the spokeswoman said. Peninsula Link, owned by Lend lease, opened on 18 January 2013. Its use peaks over summer, with an average 53,560 trips on all road sections, according to the company. The busiest section is between Frankston-Dandenong and Skye roads, with about 22 million trips in 2014. On several occasions the entire freeway has come to a standstill, notably during the Christmas Day–New Year’s Day period of 2014-15. Being only two lanes in both directions, road accidents can create chaos, especially on the southbound section. David Harrison and Mike Hast
