What's special about driving in tunnels?
- ptaipale 12y agoIn EU, there are specific rules for tunnels, for instance: parking is illegal, U-turns are illegal, you must use headlights. For transporting dangerous materials there are of course more rules, but those are relevant for lorry/truck drivers. There's even a standardized roadsign for when tunnel rules apply: http://www.finlex.fi/data/sdliite/liikm/5226.gif http://www.finlex.fi/data/sdliite/liikm/5226.gif Of course, e.g. in Finland the part about headlights doesn't matter much because headlights are obligatory all the time, anyway. And: there are some things you need to know about driving in/in to/out of a tunnel, particularly in winter conditions.
- thrownaway2424 12y agoInteresting. In America we don't expect anyone to know anything so there's just signs all over the tunnel such as "Turn on headlights" and of course at the end of the tunnel "Check headlights" in case it's not night time, and "No Parking" every 100 meters, and "No hazardous materials in tunnel" and so forth. Maybe we spend a lot more money on our signs. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8486413,-122.2424951,3a,24.8y,91.88h,89t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sT03Cbe2j4SUkPHcgHjxXXA!2e0 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8486413,-122.2424951,3a,24.8...
