A compact 9.1 km route from Frankston in two stages, taking about 17 minutes through Seaford and Frankston North. Notable for having zero traffic signals, relying entirely on 4 roundabouts and 19 give way intersections for traffic management. Speed limits range from 50 to 80 km/h, making it one of the shorter routes from this centre.

Watch Out For

  • School zone near Downs Road. 40 km/h during school hours. Easy to miss when transitioning from 60 km/h residential streets.
  • School zone near Seaford Road. Second school zone on this route. Watch for the electronic signs.
  • Klauer Street to Frankston-Dandenong Road. Speed jumps from 60 to 80 km/h. You must accelerate promptly to near the limit.
  • 19 give way intersections. You must perform head checks at every one. With zero traffic signals on this route, right-of-way depends entirely on signs and rules.

Route Features

  • 8 left turns, 8 right turns, 4 roundabouts.
  • 4 roundabouts, including one near Hartnett Drive. In VIC, signal when entering (left for left, right for right), and always signal left when exiting.
  • No traffic signals at all. One of only four Frankston routes (#18, #19, #20, #21) with zero signals.
  • Speed zones: 50 km/h on Peterson Street, 60 km/h through residential areas, 80 km/h on Frankston-Dandenong Road.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • With no traffic signals, right-of-way at every intersection depends on give way signs and roundabout rules. Stay alert at each one.
  • This is one of the shorter Frankston routes at 9.1 km. Use the stage break to reset mentally.
  • Practice the residential grid around Emanuel Drive and Lucas Crescent where multiple give way intersections occur in quick succession.
