Tunnel

Sheikh Zayed Tunnel (fka Salaam St. tunnel) is making me very happy. From the middle of the island I can get over to Mina (The Club) in half the time I used to take. The ride back is even quicker. Apart from one or two stressful merges, and unfinished roadworks the tunnel is a huge and welcome addition to Abu Dhabi. (Pictures from GN) It is not just the time, but also the tendency for traffic to stay in lanes without weaving (as much). Surprisingly, the speed limit seems to be being adhered to as well! :-)
Now we just have to wait for the GPS's to get back up to date!
