The S-5 'Túnel' sign indicates the beginning of a tunnel, an underpass, or a section of road considered a tunnel. It may also show the tunnel's length in meters at the bottom. Its presence triggers specific legal obligations regarding lighting, speed, and safety distances.
When driving through any tunnel or underpass in Spain, you must always use your position lights and dipped headlights (luces de cruce). If your vehicle is wider than 2.10 meters, you must also use your gauge lights (luces de gálibo). In insufficiently illuminated tunnels outside populated areas, full-beam headlights (luces de largo alcance) should be used if driving over 40 km/h, unless it would dazzle other drivers.
Inside tunnels, you must maintain a minimum safety distance of 100 meters (or 4 seconds) with the vehicle in front for vehicles under 3,500 kg MMA. For vehicles with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MMA) exceeding 3,500 kg, this distance increases to 150 meters (or 6 seconds). Look for 'galón' road markings that help indicate these distances.
If traffic stops inside a tunnel due to congestion, you must switch on your emergency lights, keep your position lights on, and, if the stop is expected to exceed two minutes, turn off your engine. All occupants should remain inside the vehicle. Never abandon your vehicle unless instructed to do so by emergency services.
Yes, tunnels in Spain are equipped with specific signs for emergencies. You will find signs indicating 'SOS' telephones (S-960), 'Apartadero' (S-970) for emergency bays with fire extinguishers and phones, and 'Salida de emergencia' (S-980) or arrow panels (S-990) directing you to the nearest emergency exit.
By completing Tunnel Rules, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Spain. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
