Warrigal Road is a major inner urban road in southeastern Melbourne, Australia. On weekdays, it is usually congested as it runs through many major suburbs along its route, traversing Melbourne's inner eastern and south-eastern suburbs. This includes suburbs such as Chadstone, Oakleigh, and Cheltenham, and features such as the Chadstone Shopping Centre. It carries Metropolitan Route Number 15 for its entire length, and also contains Route Number 14 between Kingston Road, Heatherton and South Road, Moorabbin East.
Warrigal Road begins at a t-intersection with no traffic lights at Beach Road, Parkdale, with the road being a dual-lane arterial road and the speed limit at 60 km/h. From here it passes through Nepean Highway, Mentone and becomes a four-lane arterial road. Just before the intersection of Bernard Street, Cheltenham North, the speed limit becomes 70 km/h and the road turns into a six-lane dual carriageway. It continues like this until the intersection of Old Dandenong Road, Oakleigh South, where it returns to a four-lane arterial road again and the speed limit is reduced back to 60 km/h. Between here and Princes Highway, the road through passes Oakleigh Shopping Centre. At Princes Highway the road once again becomes a six-lane dual carriageway and the speed limit becomes 70 km/h where it travels under the Monash Freeway bridge in Chadstone. At High Street Road, Ashwood the road has its final road and speed limit change and returns to a four-lane arterial road and 60 km/h speed limit. The road continues up and down steep gradients until it reaches its end at Canterbury Road, Surrey Hills.
Warrigal Road is aligned with the 1 mile (1.6 km) cadastral survey grid of Melbourne, and is 8 miles (13 km) east of the survey datum at Batman's Hill.[1]
