The VicRoads map is anomalous.

Beats me why so many cylists can be found (illegally or no) on the Princes Freeway, at least as far as Werribee where most of us turn around (for those Melbourne bound, they cross over and continue the ride to Melbourne via the longer and rather dull route to Altona and Williamstown, the freeway ahead not just being off-limits to cyclists, but downright dangerous to boot). The alternative route through Lara to Werribee via a hotch-potch of good backroads and Sayers Road is longer, isolated, exposed but gives a feeling of being in the 'middle of nowhere' (which it is!) and is favoured by some touring cyclists; a wrong turn out there can add 30km to the day.
