Motorway, tunnel and level crossing

Why this chapter

Some places change everything at once. This chapter covers the motorway – who may ride there, and what sustained high speed does to a motorcyclist – and the tunnel and the level crossing, where light, surface and rails all work against you together. Know what is coming and you have time to prepare for it.
