Despite handling 45,000 vehicles a day, it scored highly in two key categories - traffic management and fire extinguisher provision. Paul Watters from the AA Motoring Trust - which is a member of Euro TAP - said: "Tunnel fires in Europe have killed around 90 people over the past 10 years. However, the UK has an excellent record for tunnel safety."
It hasn"t always been that way, though. Other British tunnels have fared less well in the past, with London"s Blackwall Tunnel rated "very poor" and the Tyne Tunnel achieving a "poor" rating in 2003. Italian underpasses are the worst in Europe.
