Who manages tunnel safety?

Safety in tunnels like the Queensway is a complex operation, involving multiple agencies.

There are also dedicated tunnel police and fire services. Their coordinated efforts ensure rapid response to crashes, re-routing traffic, and maintaining public safety for the thousands of daily users.
