Melbourne's "ring of steel" is sparking traffic delays, with a long line of vehicles on the road to Geelong.
Victoria Police and ADF personnel are enforcing traffic restrictions for a second day to ensure Melburnians don't try to take advantage an easing of coronavirus restrictions in regional Victoria.
The Nine Network showed helicopter footage of traffic at the Little River checkpoint heading to Geelong, stretching back for about 20km.
On Thursday, Assistant Commissioner Rick Nugent said police would try to keep delays at checkpoints to 30 minutes.
Melburnians risk a fine of almost $5000 if they try to travel to regional Victoria without a valid reason.
