The tunnel is very heavily monitored by cameras relaying images
to the control room. As this is an international border, there are
customs posts at both entrances. The minimum
speed limit is 50km/h and
the maximum speed limit is 70km/h.
In addition, vehicles are expected to maintain a distance of at
least 150m between each other.
There is a time delay on cars
leaving the péages (toll booths) and signs to remind drivers
to respect the speed limits and safe distances. Failure to respect
these limits will incur severe, on the
spot, fines or even a suspension
of your licence.
Fines
Driving dangerously close to the car in front could cost you €135
or even your licence. Failure to observe the speed
limit could cost you between €90
and €750 and you can expect to lose your licence on
the spot when you pay a fine of €750.
Non-French
& Italian drivers must pay the fines on the spot. French
& Italian drivers have a month to pay or they can pay up straight
away.
