This nocturnal image depicts the interior of a road tunnel in Funchal, Portugal, at the point of its exit onto a multi-lane, illuminated cable-stayed bridge. The location is the **Via Rápida (VR1)**, specifically the western exit of the **Túnel do Socorridos** onto the **Ponte dos Socorridos**, viewed from inside a vehicle traveling westbound towards Funchal. The tunnel ceiling is dark and curved, featuring multiple recessed square yellow lights. The tunnel's side walls are lined with a yellowish, reflective material, brightly illuminated. A red rectangular fire extinguisher cabinet is mounted on the lower right wall, accompanied by small, rectangular white marker lights near the base. The road surface, appearing dark and reflective, likely from moisture, exhibits clear white lane markings. A solid white line demarcates the right edge of the carriageway, while dashed white lines separate the two visible lanes. At the tunnel exit, the prominent white pylons and numerous diagonal cables of the Ponte dos Socorridos are distinctly visible against the dark night sky. Two rectangular overhead road signs are positioned at the exit point: 1. The left sign, with an upward arrow, indicates destinations as "Funchal (centro)", "Machico", and "aeroporto". 2. The right sign, with a right-pointing arrow and a green circle containing the number "7", indicates destinations as "Funchal (c. comercial, Hospital)". No individuals are visible. The only indication of other elements are faint, distant lights on the bridge, suggesting other vehicles or distant city lights.
