Seal Causes Traffic Jam on Mornington Peninsula

0:00A sleepy seal turned the Nepean Highway into its personal nap spot down on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, shutting down the road in both directions. Near Dromana, this chill beach goer plopped right in the middle of Point Nepean Road by Anthony's nose, forcing drivers to hit the brakes hard. Locals weren't phased though, one safety beach resident named Jen Abbott and her daughter pulled over and kept watch for over one hour to make sure the seal stayed safe. They've been tracking this regular visitor around the coast for a while, spotting it as far as Rosebud. Police jumped into direct traffic, while big traffic warned folks to steer clear and add extra time to their trips. Orange cones went up to shield the seal from any impatient drivers, and the whole scene played out smooth but slow. It took wildlife rescuers a couple hours to roll up and gently guide the seal back to the water and beach. These seal pop-ups are old news around Port Phillip Bay.
