SCHLUND & SPIER TUNNELS
The well laid and litter-free roads across Europe enable smooth driving, with motorists strictly following lane driving and all other traffic rules. They drive patiently and no one ever uses the horn (except in an emergency). Cameras are always on, to spot traffic violations. All vehicles are fitted with Global Positioning System (GPS) for better traffic management.
Most newer highways across Europe cut through mountains via several tunnels to shorten driving distances, and forested hillsides are retained as such to permit wildlife to cross over the tunnels across busy roads.
This video shot on Sept 28, 2016 depicts the view from a bus running at about 100 km/h on the A2 Motorway in Switzerland, passing through two curved road tunnels - 960 m Schlund Tunnel and 1580 m Spier Tunnel, completed in 2000 & 2002 respectively near Kriens and Horw, Lucerne, Switzerland. Exhaust fans fitted on the ceiling at frequent intervals dispel toxic automobile fumes, and permit clear visibility in the well-lit tunnels where motorists drive only in their lanes. Changing lanes is prohibited within the tunnels and beyond too for a long distance. Enjoy my video.
