If your vehicle is stopped inside a tunnel due to traffic conditions, which lights must you keep switched on?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulations state that if you are stopped inside a tunnel due to traffic conditions (e.g., a traffic jam), the driver must keep the position lights (parking lights) switched on. This is essential to signal the presence and width of the vehicle to other road users, especially if the stop is prolonged and the engine must be switched off (more than 2 minutes). Low beam headlights could drain the battery with the engine off, and brake lights are not continuous (they only work when the pedal is pressed).
