Where will ramp signals be installed along the M80 Ring Road?
As part of the upgrade, freeway ramp signals will be installed on some sections of the M80, which will form part of the freeway management system being implemented to improve traffic flow. The freeway ramp signals system uses traffic lights and a sign stating ‘one vehicle per green each lane’ to manage the rate at which vehicles are allowed to join freeway traffic. The traffic lights operate during peak hours or when freeway conditions are heavy. The system enables ramps to ‘talk’ to each other to balance the number of cars entering the freeway at any one time and maintain a steady flow of traffic on the freeway. Freeway ramp signals have now been installed at the following locations Altona-bound on the M80 Ring Road – Boundary Road, Fitzgerald Road, Western Highway and Furlong Road.
