Please keep this safety guide on your journey home
There is a great article about tunnel driving!
Tunnels are special sections of highways and urban roads, and due to their special and closed nature, a little attention to some safety details may cause accidents and cause dangers. Therefore, when driving in a tunnel, you must be cautious.
So how do you get through the tunnel safely?
There are many details though.
But crucial!
Before the vehicle enters the tunnel
Pay attention to the identification markings
Before entering the tunnel, you should pay attention to traffic signs such as road signs and markings, speed limits, etc., and at the same time choose your own driving lane, and strictly follow the speed limit signs and other signs.
Slow down and turn on the lights in advance
Due to the large brightness gap between the inside and outside of the tunnel, the driver's eyes are prone to discomfort due to sudden changes in light when entering the tunnel, which may cause instant "blinding".
Therefore, drivers should do the following 2 things before entering the tunnel:
Follow the speed limit reminder to reduce your speed
Reduce your speed about 100 meters before entering the tunnel.
Turn on your headlights and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front
Turning on the lights means turning on the low beams and marker lights, not the high beams, if the driver turns on the high beams by mistake, it will "blind" the eyes of the driver in front of him, which is easy to cause danger.
Turning on the low beam can help the eyes better adapt to the changes in light;
Turning on the profile lights allows other vehicles to notice themselves more quickly and make it easier to judge the distance.
After the vehicle enters the tunnel
Control your speed
When entering the tunnel, keep the speed within the speed limit indicated by the speed limit sign at all times, even if there is no car in the tunnel, do not exceed the speed limit, and the driver must strictly follow it.
Control the safe distance between the vehicles
After entering the tunnel, due to the closed space in the tunnel, once a collision occurs, there is a high probability that there will be a "butterfly effect", resulting in a series of collisions. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance between the vehicles in order to avoid accidents to the greatest extent.
It is forbidden to change lanes at will
In general, the fast and slow lanes in the tunnel are white single solid lines, which means that lane changes are not allowed in the tunnel under normal circumstances.
Random parking is prohibited
Except for vehicles that need to be stopped due to a warning sign due to an immovable malfunction, parking in tunnels is not allowed in any other circumstances, including the Harbour Parking Area. Don't think of the tunnel as a place to stop and rest!
When the vehicle is about to exit the tunnel
Slow down first
When the vehicle drives out of the tunnel, the driver's eyes should adapt to the process from dark to light, so when driving out of the tunnel, you should slow down, speed up and drive away after adapting to the outside light, and do not blindly accelerate or change lanes immediately, so as not to cause safety hazards to yourself and the car behind.
After speeding up
When the eyes adapt to the light and darkness changes and can see the road conditions clearly, they can speed up appropriately to avoid multiple vehicles gathering near the tunnel exit and causing traffic congestion.
All in all, driving inside the tunnel.
Remember the word "stability" first, don't be impatient.
