Is it ever allowed to stop in a tunnel?

Stopping in a tunnel is indeed allowed if it is necessary to avoid danger. This means that if a driver encounters an immediate hazard that requires them to stop for safety—such as a sudden mechanical failure, an accident, or another urgent situation—then stopping can be justified to prevent further complications or danger to themselves and other road users.

While regulations generally discourage stopping in tunnels due to safety concerns, the key factor here is the need for immediate action to avoid a dangerous situation. The design of tunnels, with limited visibility and space, means that any unnecessary stopping could pose risks, but the allowance for stopping when it is necessary prioritizes the safety of all involved.

In contrast, other choices suggest blanket prohibitions or situations where stopping might not be necessary, which does not take into account the urgency that may arise. Thus, understanding the context of safety and the potential need to stop is crucial for drivers navigating through tunnels.
