And a little piece of bullshit inside -
| Quote: |
Running underneath and along the Yauza River, with water leaks, the tunnel's road surface can become a ribbon of black ice in the freezing Moscow winter.
|
All these videos seems to be recorded in summer, and all cars actively participated in accident drove at least 120 kmh ( downhill ) while limit is 60. |

| The only place you will encounter it is Lefortovo if you go under the river. Do you think that is likely? |

Does Russia have alot of these tunnels?..I want to avoid going through tunnels if they are hazardous like this...the chance of an accident seems high.. |

This question is kind of ridiculous. Many russian cities don't even have rivers in order to have a tunnel.
Not too many tunnels in Russia in general. We have 3 large tunnels in New York City. I don't remember any tunnels of that magnitude - certainly not in Moscow or St Petersburg. Although, the subway is in a tunnel - obviously. But it's very safe... |

| I'm from Russia. There are not a lot of tunnels in Moscow. But in Moscow there are a lot of traffic jams. Big road incidents are rare. |
