Light transmission efficiency is greatest if the tube is short and straight. In longer, angled, or flexible tubes, part of the light intensity is lost. To minimize losses, a high reflectivity of the tube lining is crucial; manufacturers claim reflectivities of their materials, in the visible range, of up to almost 99.5 percent. [10] [11]
Light beam from road tunnel fixture inclined towards approaching vehicle such that contrast is enhanced of obstacle on road. Counter-beam lighting (German: Gegenstrahlbeleuchtung) is a type of road lighting used mainly in road tunnels, providing best visibility of obstacles on the lane, and thus traffic safety, while reducing light-energy cost.

The human eye's response to light is non-linear, so a more even distribution of the same amount of light makes a room appear brighter. The source of all daylight is the Sun. The proportion of direct to diffuse light impacts the amount and quality of daylight. [1] "Direct sunlight" reaches a site without being scattered within Earth's atmosphere.
The tunnel cost $17 million (equivalent to $181 million in 2024 [5]). [6] [1] [7] [8] On Thursday, May 31, 2007, a bomb threat shut down the Fort Pitt Tunnel along with the Liberty and Squirrel Hill tunnels, causing a major traffic jam. [9] The tunnel provided AM reception in 1960, but due to design repairs it was discontinued until 1986.
