  Monash Freeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mulgrave Freeway was opened in stages from 1973, starting with the section between Springvale Road and Jacksons Road and construction moving progressively westward until reaching Warrigal Road in Chadstone.
The freeway was extended by 7.5km in late 2003 when the Hallam Bypass was completed after 3 years of construction, connecting the Monash Freeway in Hallam to the Princes Freeway in Berwick.
Previously the Monash Freeway terminated in Hallam, where it would also reduce from 3 to 2 lanes and was a notorious bottle-neck at peak hours, and became known as the South Gippsland Freeway.

 Freeway Signs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Freeways tend to have very large signs so as to be clearly visible from a distance by fast moving traffic.
This sign indicates that a freeway bypasses a town or city and that it is therefore possible to travel through the town and rejoin the freeway further along.
In this case, it is a sign naming the railway that passed under the Princes Freeway at Morwell.

 Bedtime Fables
As the freeway became ever more solid and the summer passed into autumn, one little pylon in particular grew excited, for he knew that soon they would be packing up and moving on-- on to a new and exotic land where they and their CalTrans masters were needed.
The princes were very concerned about this (and always had been or as long as anyone could remember) because none of them could remember their father, the King, either.
And while none of the surviving princes really felt like things were better than they had been, their minds were at least off the neurotic problem of succession for a while, and they finally had some real problems to try to solve, so in some sense, this is still a happy ending.

National Route 1 covers the New England Hwy between Beresfield and Hexham, and the Pacific Highway north of Hexham, as well as the Southern Freeway and Mt Ousley Rd between Waterfall and Yallah, and the Princes Highway south of Yallah.
The Southern Freeway, together with Mt Ousley Rd, replaces the Princes Highway as the through traffic route through the Wollongong urban area.
However, the Southern Freeway did not gain the National Route 1 shield straight away, it was until the opening of the Waterfall-Bulli Tops Tollwork in July 1975 that National Route 1 was shifted onto the tollwork, then Mt Ousley Rd and the freeway as far south as Northcliffe Drive.

The merging lanes on to the freeway also seem to still have their fair share of 'feather foots', who just cannot seem to get up to freeway speeds regardless of how long a merging lane is provided.
What this means is that you will have to wait before entering the freeway for a green light, which typically allows only one or two cars to enter the merging lane at a time.
Perhaps drivers license testing should focus more nowadays on mandatory freeway type activities, such as merging, than on parallel parking and the like, which is almost an anachronism in the age of shopping centre carparks and diagonal parking.
