[talk-au] M11 naming

[Dian Ågesson]

Hey all

Having driven the road today from Dingley to Thompsons Road I can 
confirm two things.

1) The freeway is particularly boring and unremarkable. Not worth the 
trip unless it is actually the quickest route to take.

2) The signs all read Mornington Peninsula Freeway; both on the turns to 
get onto the road and on the distance signs while driving on the road 
itself.

It also has a _huge _median, so they are obviously expect to extend it 
to three lanes at some point.
