What issues should be paid attention to when driving through a tunnel?
1 Answers
Precautions for driving through a tunnel are as follows: 1. When approaching the tunnel, carefully observe traffic signs or information boards: Pay special attention to height restrictions for cargo trucks, and vehicles exceeding the height limit are strictly prohibited from entering the tunnel. Do not rely on intuition to judge speed while driving in the tunnel; always confirm your speed using the speedometer and maintain an appropriate following distance. 2. For two-lane tunnels on general roads: Drive at a normal speed on the right side of the road, do not change lanes inside the tunnel, and absolutely avoid overtaking. 3. Turn on headlights in advance: Due to poor visibility inside the tunnel, turn on the headlights and width markers before entering to clearly see the road and traffic conditions, and to make your vehicle visible to others. 4. Reduce speed: Due to the difference in brightness inside and outside the tunnel, the human eye needs time to adjust to the darkness when entering and to the light when exiting, during which the driver's vision is impaired, so speed must be reduced. Do not rely on intuition to judge speed while driving in the tunnel; always confirm your speed using the speedometer. 5. Random parking is strictly prohibited in the tunnel to avoid traffic congestion: If a vehicle breaks down in the tunnel, immediately notify the tunnel entrance and arrange to have the vehicle towed out; do not perform repairs inside the tunnel. 6. Maintain control of the vehicle and pay close attention to traffic conditions in the tunnel: Before entering, drivers should try to gather as much information as possible about the traffic conditions inside the tunnel through various means.
