If you have to remain stopped in a tunnel for more than two minutes, you must switch off the engine so that exhaust gases do not build up, switch on the hazard warning lights for a while to warn those coming behind, and keep the sidelights on, under Articles 97 and 115 of the General Traffic Regulations.
