Tunnel tips for all
Driving into a tunnel correctly:
• Never pass a red light (flashing or otherwise) or if the barrier is down
• Be aware of the speed limit in the tunnel
• Check that you have switched the lights on in your vehicle
• Remove your sunglasses
• Close the windows
• Consider using air recirculation
• Switch on the radio (DAB+) so that you hear necessary traffic bulletins about accidents in the tunnel
Driving/behaviour in the tunnel:
• Maintain a distance of at least 5 seconds from the vehicle in front
• Use your windscreen wipers and defroster if visibility is poor due to mist on the windscreen
In the event of a breakdown or accident in the tunnel:
• Stay calm
• Switch on your hazard warning lights to warn other road users
• Do not turn around in the tunnel
• Wear a reflective tabard
• Head for the nearest emergency exit
• Use the tunnel’s emergency telephone to notify the Traffic Control Centre automatically
(do not use a mobile phone)
