I travel into Melbourne for work. About an hour and a half drive.

I used to come in via Sunbury Rd near the airport but that route has shit itself getting in or out since roadwork is increasing. So Iโ€™ve started using the Calder and Ring Road near Keilor.

I thought the Sunbury Rd area was dangerous. Jesus Christ, if you decide to ever drive on the Ring Road youโ€™re really just hoping you donโ€™t die. Just the short stretch to get back on the freeway out of Melbourne is basically a suicide run.

Has it always been like this?

I kind of feel Melbourneโ€™s endless roadworks has made that inevitable.
