Top tips for hiring a car in Hoppers Crossing
About to hire a car in Hoppers Crossing? Here are a few top tips to keep in mind.
Melbourne road rules and driving conditions
The road rules in Melbourne match the rest of Australia. Australians drive on the left side of the road and speed limits vary depending on the type of road and area. Residential zones usually have lower speed limits, while major roads and highways have higher limits.
The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for fully licensed drivers in Victoria is 0.05 (the same as the rest of the country), and you aren’t allowed to use your phone while you’re driving. Not to mention, be sure to keep left unless overtaking on all multi-lane roads with a speed limit above 80km/h.
Hook turns:
While exploring Melbourne City, the concept of a hook turn might seem a little bizarre. It's essentially a right-hand turn at an intersection. But, instead of using the right lane to turn, when you see a hook turn sign, you stay in the left lane and signal your intention to turn right.
Hoppers Crossing rush hour and busiest roads
One of the best things about driving in Hoppers Crossing is the low levels of congestion on the roads. However, you might notice some traffic as you head towards the Princes Highway and Princes Freeway during peak hours (6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm weekdays). Plus, the Forsyth Road Interchange can be another busy spot for daily commuter traffic.
Are there toll roads around Hoppers Crossing?
There is one toll road connecting Hopers Crossing with the rest of Melbourne: the West Gate Freeway. In fact, this is the busiest urban freeway and one of the busiest roads in all of Australia. If you rent a car on Turo, your host will have it fitted out with an e-tag prior to departure.
