Tunnel de l'Étoile

Its entrance has been the site of many road traffic accidents by trucks.

In effect the tunnel has a height of 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in), which was only signalled by a sign hanging above the entrance.

Trucks are too high and hit the tunnel roof.

No portico can be built on the surface since it would affect the appearance of the Arc de Triomphe and breach the Arc's listing statute.

In March 2015, the tunnel was "temporarily" closed,[1] but it never reopened for motorized traffic.
