Are there speed cameras in tunnels?
2 Answers
Tunnels have speed cameras. Here are some driving precautions: 1. Overtaking regulations for motor vehicles: The vehicle in front is making a left turn, turning around, or overtaking; there is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle; the vehicle in front is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or emergency rescue vehicle performing urgent tasks; there are no overtaking conditions when passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections of urban roads with heavy traffic. 2. Motor vehicles should comply with the following regulations: Yield to vehicles in the lane you are borrowing; drive in order and avoid frequent lane changes; vehicles should drive in the slow lane and are allowed to borrow the fast lane to overtake without hindering the normal driving of fast lane vehicles, but must return to the original lane immediately after overtaking.
Speed monitoring devices are indeed installed in tunnels, which is quite common. The confined space inside tunnels, combined with significant changes in lighting, makes it prone to accidents if the speed is too high, such as delayed braking or collisions with barriers. Most tunnel entrances are equipped with fixed cameras or radar probes that automatically detect speeding and take photos, with the ticketing system directly linked for processing. From a safety perspective, many research reports have highlighted data showing reduced tunnel accidents, primarily due to speed monitoring. It's advisable to pay attention to speed limit signs while driving, typically set at 60-80 km/h, slower than outside. Be especially cautious about accelerating in poor weather conditions to avoid speeding fines or potential hazards.
