Is overtaking and lane changing allowed in tunnels?
1 Answers
No. The following are precautions for driving in tunnels: 1. When approaching a tunnel: Carefully observe traffic signs or information boards. Trucks should pay special attention to height restrictions, and over-height vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering the tunnel. Do not rely on intuition to judge speed while driving in a tunnel; always confirm your speed using the speedometer and maintain an appropriate following distance. 2. Reduce speed: Due to the difference in brightness inside and outside the tunnel, the human eye undergoes a dark adaptation process when entering and a light adaptation process when exiting, during which the driver's vision is impaired, necessitating a reduction in speed. 3. No random stopping: Tunnels are generally narrower than the road outside, especially the shoulder width, which is designed based on the minimum basic width. Therefore, random stopping in tunnels is strictly prohibited to avoid traffic congestion. If a vehicle breaks down in a tunnel, the tunnel entrance should be notified immediately, and efforts should be made to tow the vehicle out of the tunnel; repairs should not be conducted inside the tunnel. 4. Vehicles passing through two-way tunnels: Drive on the right side of the road, turn on lights as necessary, pay attention to oncoming vehicles, and generally avoid honking inside the tunnel.
