Went thru' it again today! Turned out to be a real time, fuel and body fluid (else lost to perspiration) saver! Was even more fun. Took some more pics of the entry and the tunnel with my mobile this time! Take a look: http://www.flickr.com/photos/glifford/2698124714/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/glifford/2698124886/ Found that the riders observe a simple rule to manage themselves and hence the traffic: Do not enter till you see the end of the tunnel clear! And simply because the tunnel is too long (and around a bend) to see who is approaching from the other end, you can only enter if you see no one else at the other end. So if there is a steady stream of bikes entering from one end, even if there is just one bike standing at the other, it'll have to wait as long as all the bikes have passed. Simple and hard reality rule and it works! No cops needed :D Realised that I can use it when I return home too. Will help me get around an even longer jam (if ever there's one)! Let's see how many people use it in the dark tho'! Cheers, Glifford.
