Explanation

If a fire breaks out inside a tunnel, the driver must: move the vehicle as far to the right as possible so as not to block emergency vehicles; switch off the engine; leave the key in and not close the door; leave the vehicle with all occupants and go quickly to the nearest shelter or exit, away from the fire. Never walk on the carriageway if there are areas closed to vehicles.
