Key Tips
- The extended 80 km/h section on Frankston-Dandenong Road is the longest high-speed stretch at Frankston. Be confident with acceleration and lane positioning.
- The left-turn bias (8L/4R) means most turns are into the near lane. Maintain correct positioning close to the left kerb before turning.
