Is temporary parking allowed inside tunnels?
2 Answers
Driving a motor vehicle inside a tunnel does not allow for temporary parking. Here is relevant information: Architectural structure: The structure of a tunnel consists of two parts: the main building and auxiliary equipment. The main building is composed of the tunnel body and tunnel portal, while the auxiliary equipment includes refuge niches, firefighting facilities, emergency communication systems, and drainage facilities. Longer tunnels also have specialized ventilation and lighting equipment. Tunnel: A tunnel is an engineering structure buried within the ground, representing a form of human utilization of underground space. Tunnels can be classified into traffic tunnels, hydraulic tunnels, municipal tunnels, mining tunnels, and military tunnels.
Speaking of temporarily stopping in a tunnel, I encountered a special situation last time when driving with a friend. There was suddenly a strange noise from the rear of the car, and my friend wanted to stop to check. I immediately stopped him. Stopping in a tunnel is too dangerous—the lanes are so narrow that if the car behind can't avoid in time, it could lead to a serious rear-end collision. If there's a real emergency, like a vehicle malfunction, remember three steps: turn on the hazard lights immediately, try to move to the emergency stopping lane, and place a warning sign 150 meters away. Regular tunnels have emergency lanes only every few hundred meters, and underwater tunnels might not have any emergency lanes at all. Once, I saw news about someone stopping in a tunnel to change a tire, resulting in a three-car pileup behind them. If you really need to check your car's condition, it's better to drive a couple more kilometers to the exit and find a service area.
