State of Victoria Warnings Or Dangers
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Warnings Or Dangers: Melbourne Driving
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is a road rule at some intersections in the city area where traffic turning right must do so from the left lane to avoid blocking tram tracks. This involves pulling into the intersection on the left (in front of cars lined up to cross your path) and then when the through traffic is clear, doing your sharp right hand turn from there. A bit daunting when you're not used to it.

    Look out for the trams if you are driving or cycling.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Total Fire Ban Days
  • Tip Rating:
  • Parts of Victoria at times have total fire ban days. This is when conditions are particularly dry and the temperatures have been soaring. High winds which blow down from the North also are a contributing factor to flaming any small fires which break out. No camp fires, burning of rubbish or open barbecues may be lit (the latter only if it is close to the house and a hose is in readiness). Only gas or electric bbq’s which within a concrete or brick structure maybe used away from home. All solid fuel appliances, such as wood, heat bead, briquette and charcoal are not allowed to be used. There are fire danger meters throughout the state to show the level of fire danger.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Crime
  • Tip Rating:
  • No undue warnings as Victoria is Australia's safest state with crime rates 20% below the national crime rate. There are however always parts of major cities which are less safe especially at night and walking alone should be avoided. Hitchhiking is not recommended.
