Safety
EastLink is one of the safest motorways in Melbourne.
EastLink control room operators provide 24/7 monitoring with video cameras, traffic counters, vehicle height and tunnel fire detectors.
Incident response vehicles operate 24/7. If you breakdown on EastLink, stay in your vehicle. An incident response vehicle will assist you within minutes.
If you need to use a help phone, park in the emergency lane provided, use your hazard lights, and keep well away from the main carriageway. NEVER CROSS A MOTORWAY.
IN AN EMERGENCY PHONE 000
Always obey safety instructions. These include lane control, variable speed and digital message signs, plus radio broadcasts and loudspeaker announcements in tunnels. Response personnel may also provide instructions.
We regularly show safety messages on our digital message signs. We deliver road safety education to thousands of young people living in the EastLink corridor, with partners including RACV, Roadsafe, TAC, MPNFL, EFL and Dandenong Jayco Rangers.
