Is drivers getting lost in tunnels an issue? Every tunnel I've been in has been pretty... Straightforward?

[–] jim 20 points 10 months ago

Yes it can be an issue because the GPS doesn't know where you are and thinks you are on an aboveground street. Freeway tunnels can have multiple exits too.

Boston's Big Dig could make good use of them.

Geezus. This is what unchecked markets due to poor streets and tunnels. 😟

Try the tunnels in Boston some time. They have highway exits in the tunnels. And my favorite part is after that there's a fork with not much distance to figure out which one sends you the right direction on the interstate. Also the only signage is painted on the road, which has cars on it.

In countries that actually build city tunnels they can have underground splits and stuff..

Lower Wacker in Chicago is a black hole

I've enabled it even though I don't think my city has any tunnels. But you never know!

I thought WiFi and Bluetooth location service scanning was already supposed to fix this?
