Things to know before entering the Hsuehshan Tunnel

There are two long tunnels in Taiwan that have become world-famous. One of them is the Bagua Mountain Tunnel. The other one must be the longest tunnel, Hsuehshan Tunnel. It is quite famous, and not only because it’s so long. The tunnel was extremely difficult to dig.

Drivers who don’t follow traffic regulations are a really big problem, especially when driving through a tunnel! Many countries have very strict rules for traveling through long tunnels. If something bad happens, it could be an unthinkable accident. Before entering a tunnel, drivers must remember to first turn on their headlights. While inside the tunnel, drivers are not allowed to randomly change lanes. The maximum tunnel speed is 70 kph. For safety, drivers should keep a 50m distance from the car ahead. If drivers don’t accept these rules, they will be fined. Following the road rules is very important when going through long tunnels.
