I was on Dandenong Rd mostly (or Princess something, woteva it is) so I can't really speak for the rest of the east. But once you're away from the city, it was reasonably free-flowing. The infrastructure has always been different out west.
Plus people started waking up 15 or so years ago and instead of paying 1 mil plus for a dog box in Ascot Vale (50 year old wiring, no insulation, heating and cooling designed by some guy that died on the Titanic) they opted to travel further and spend 300k on a house further out west. So the population has gone nuts out here but the main arteries have remained the same = congestion.
Well that's my version of events, I'm sure everyones will be different but the West Gate Bridge and it's surrounding roads need to be relocated to Alpha Centauri.
