exits connect freeways and tollways with particular suburbs or destinations. Exits are
different for inbound and outbound traffic. Inbound means you are travelling towards the
CBD. Outbound means you are travelling away from the CBD.
For instance if a driver is travelling inbound on the West Gate Freeway and passing the
Williamstown Road off-ramp. They would take this ramp if going to Williamstown,
Yarraville or Spotswood.
The map below shows all the exits on the West Gate Freeway. You will need to know
these as well as the exits for the other freeways and tollways around Melbourne.
