Moorooduc Highway is a 16 km highway which runs from Frankston to Tuerong and, together with the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, was part of the main route from Melbourne to the Mornington Peninsula until the completion of Peninsula Link in 2013. This name is not widely known to most drivers, as the entire allocation is still best known as by the names of its constituent parts: McMahons Road, Frankston–Flinders Road, and Moorooduc Road. This article will deal with the entire length of the corridor for sake of completion, as well to avoid confusion between declarations. Route McMahons Road (and the beginning of the highway) starts at the southern end of the Frankston Freeway and heads south as a six-lane, dual-carriageway road through the central suburbs of Frankston, crossing the Stony Point railway line until it intersects with and changes name to Frankston-Flinders Road. It continues south through Frankston South until it meets and continues south along Moorooduc Road as a four-lane dual-carriageway road through Moorooduc, before the road and the end of the highway) ends at the interchange where Peninsula Link and the southern section of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway meet. It is a notoriously dangerous stretch of road that has claimed many lives due to speed and uncontrolled intersections. Roundabouts have recently been installed at the Bentons Road, Eramosa Road and Bungower Road intersections. The Sages Road intersection is now controlled by traffic lights after numerous fatal and serious accidents at this high speed T-intersection. Heading southbound from Humphries Road in Baxter, the speed limit increases from 80 km/h to 90 km/h, and from Sumner Road, it reaches 100 km/h. History Moorooduc Road was duplicated to just south of Sages Road in the 1970s, and during the 1980s the rest of the road was duplicated to Tuerong, to serve as an alternative to building a Frankston Bypass; the road was eventually linked directly to the southern part of Mornington Peninsula Freeway when it was extended to Tuerong in 1994. Moorooduc Highway (as its constituent roads) was allocated Metropolitan Route 11 from Frankston to Baxter in 1965; it was extended further south along Moorooduc Road and eventually onto the southern sections of Mornington Peninsula Freeway in 1989, shifting from Moorooduc Road to the freeway when it was extended further north to Tuerong in 1994. With Victoria's conversion to the newer alphanumeric system in the late 1990s, Metropolitan Route 11 was replaced
