Approaching from the town centre, more restrictions are in place, and there is the unusual practice (seen at the Kingsway Tunnel also) of having "Start of Mersey Tunnels Regulations" signs. There is no explanation of what these restrictions actually involve, but presumably it has something to do with the tunnels not being operated by a normal highway authority. The direction signs always refer to 'Birkenhead Tunnel' or 'Wallasey Tunnel'.
