UK tunnels nearly always have warning lights and barriers before them, to aid closing them in emergencies. This is even true on shorter tunnels, such as this one on the A229 (no barriers)

Or the A3 at Hindhead

Now to the Inside

Emergency exits for persons all marked with green LED`s like here

Verry common also the LED plates with the speedlimit and the no overtaking for trucks sign

Image

And another foible of austrian autobahn tunnels are these niches for broken down cars

Hope that`s good enough for you, if not just say and i will make more pics.

I just recently went through that long and dark tunnel that is going under Svartisen glacier in Norway, Svartisen tunnel and i must say i am very impressed of the new upgrades. It is now not very dark. It has gotten a new and improved lighting system with automatic built-in sensors.

I don't have any pictures though but there is a video at the bottom.
  • New lighting, enhanced by the entrance
  • Escape light
  • New and enhanced ventilation
  • Replacement of old hazardous cables with new fire-resistant cables for power supply in the tunnel
  • Improved gas meters, anemometers
  • Emergency closet with a telephone and fire extinguishers are located every 250 m
  • Upgrade of automatic monitoring of the tunnel and contact with the Road Traffic Management Centre
