About Bridge and tunnel: side wind, the bridge light, and the tunnel emergency procedures: which statement is correct?
- ✓ 'if that burns or starts flashing, you stop'. Steady red and flashing red both mean the same thing at the bridge light: stop.
- Bridges and viaducts only become slippery in frost at the same moment as the rest of the road, not earlier.
- In case of breakdown in a tunnel you may cross the carriageway if the nearest emergency post is on the other side.
- If your own car catches fire in a tunnel, your best option is to turn around or reverse to the nearest tunnel entrance.
Correct answer: 'if that burns or starts flashing, you stop'. Steady red and flashing red both mean the same thing at the bridge light: stop.

Why learners get this wrong
- Because the wind also passes underneath, a bridge's road surface cools faster and freezes earlier than ordinary roads
- You never cross the carriageway; you walk along the tunnel wall in the direction of traffic to the nearest emergency post on your own side
- You never turn around and never reverse; you park close against the tunnel wall, leave the vehicle, and walk away from the fire via the nearest emergency exit
