How many meters before the tunnel is parking prohibited?
2 Answers
Tunnel front 50 meters cannot park. Here are some introductions about parking before the tunnel: 1. Temporary parking: In sections with no-parking signs or markings, sections with isolation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, as well as crosswalks and construction sections, parking is prohibited. 2. Precautions: Before entering the tunnel, carefully observe the height, width limit traffic signs and text instructions at the entrance. Vehicles that do not meet the requirements are not allowed to enter the tunnel. Before entering a one-way tunnel, drivers should carefully observe whether there are oncoming vehicles. When passage is allowed, it is appropriate to sound the horn or turn on the width indicator lights.
I can really relate to this, having just driven a long distance in the mountains last week. Stopping at tunnel entrances is no trivial matter - traffic regulations clearly prohibit parking within 50 meters of tunnel entrances! You'll notice on mountain highways how solid lines start painting far before tunnel openings. The most dangerous are curved tunnel approaches - if you stop just 20 meters early, large trucks behind won't see you at all. Last year in our fleet, an SUV changing tires 30 meters from a tunnel entrance had its side mirror sheared off. If you absolutely must stop in an emergency, remember to turn your hazard lights to maximum brightness and place warning triangles at least 150 meters away.
