Lefortovo tunnel: truth and myths

A lot of rumors, gossip and legends are associated with such a place in Moscow as the Lefortovo tunnel. What is true?

A bit about the tunnel itself

The automobile tunnel with a length of 2.2 km is located in the north-east of the capital. The road passes under the Lefortovo park and r. Yauza. This is part of the 3rd transport ring.

The capital's motorists do not like this road very much, because there are many legends about it. Serious accidents often occur in this area, in which people die. And often accidents occur for unknown reasons - the car for no reason from this brings to the oncoming lane or to the side. Some cars begin to "dance" on a completely dry pavement as if they are traveling on ice. Thanks to this phenomenon, this section of the road is often called the "Lefortovo Tunnel of Death".

In the tunnel, cellular communications and radio are never available. Constantly there is noise and hum, which gradually grows. The overall situation is oppressive. Many drivers feel an inexplicable fear, a lack of oxygen. Changed and the behavior of motorists. Many become fussy, aspire to get out of the tunnel as quickly as possible.

Lefortovsky tunnel: the opinion of skeptics

All people are different. And not everyone believes that the Lefortovo tunnel, ghosts and accidents are links of one chain. These arguments are also sound. For example, most accidents occur due to non-compliance with the speed limit. The record fixed by the equipment is over 230 km / h. The conclusions are obvious - if at such a speed to sweep along the city road, the absence of an accident can be explained solely by luck. Many accidents occur due to unsuccessful rebuilding and braking in the tunnel itself or at the entrance.

Another reason is flickering lighting, which can be uncomfortable for the eyes. For some, this is a strong distraction. And, unlike other tunnels, the Lefortovo tunnel does not have a good level of illumination.

Another possible reason is the slope of the road. Therefore, the car accelerates even if the gas pedal is released. The turns are quite steep, the strips are very narrow. Therefore, if the driver did not press the brake in time, while driving downhill, the car is even more unloaded. As a result, a skid occurs.

Lefortovo tunnel: ghosts

Every now and then, photos, videos and stories appear on the network that "guests" from the other worlds meet on this road . For example, ghost cars. The hero of the most popular video is a gazelle, which seems to appear from nowhere and disappears.

They also say that there are ghosts of people in the tunnel. Those who believe in otherworldly forces, it's easy to believe, because in place of the route used to be a cemetery. Ostensibly disturbed spirits are avenging motorists.

It is said that sometimes ghosts appear at night. Time seems to stop, and the driver gets the feeling that he is riding the tunnel forever. Usually the "victims" talk about the cars without reason, the sounds resembling moans, about the appearance of thick fog. Some say they saw the rebels dead. Believe it or not - everyone's business. But it's worth remembering that the Lefortovo tunnel is quite an emergency place.
