UK Road Tunnels

[Anubis]

You've got the car. You have forked out your hard earned for that expensive exhaust. You now want to make a symphony of noise all around you, but the question is where are all the tunnels?

Scouring maps and looking on the Internet for them to incorporate on a drive can be a long and painful process unless you're 'in the know' - and even then you may miss some.

There are hundreds of them across the UK, yet no one has actually plotted them on a map - until now...

UK Road Tunnels

If you know of some road tunnels, help out your fellow petrolheads by signing into a Google account (setting one up takes only a few minutes) and plot it on the map with the following details:

Road:
Length (approx):
Direction: [direction of travel]
Description: [Speed limits, safety cameras, likely times of traffic, etc]

Next step: Go out and make some noise!

I see 4, not hundreds, so I'd assume you meant to say:

I'm not going to put hundreds of them on a map - but if everyone put 1 or 2 that they know on there it'll get filled pretty quickly. Just trying to help out fellow petrolheads - won't do any harm, if anything it will get people out meeting eachother for runs more.

I know, and I've added a couple more for you.

Thanks mate. Anyone else care to give up 5 mins and add some more?

Just added the A20 in Kent, near the end of M20. Lovely pair of tunnels and a good start for the trip to LeMans!

Thanks.

Starting to get a good map going now...

[Anubis]

Quite a lot have now been added. Thanks so far...

I know for a fact the map is being used to help scheduled meets and runs.

What an excellent idea. Is there one running for France?

Not that I am aware of, but your more than welcome to add them globally if you want to.
