Waterview Tunnel is a road tunnel in Waterview, Auckland, listed at 110 Methuen Rd, with a Google rating of 4.5. It forms part of Auckland's Western Ring Route.
A road tunnel works differently from an open road, so a few habits help. Keep to the speed limit and a safe following distance, because there is no hard shoulder to pull onto and a sudden stop affects every driver behind you. Turn on your headlights if the signs ask, avoid changing lanes where the road markings forbid it, and do not stop in the tunnel except in an emergency. Watch the electronic signs, as they warn of lane closures and incidents ahead. If your vehicle breaks down, switch on your hazard lights, stay calm and use the emergency phones or call 111. Regulars check traffic apps before travelling, since peak-hour delays and night closures for maintenance can change the best route.
