Allegheny tunnel
We're on a trip to Pa, Md onto Nc. Can we drive our motorhome through the Allegheny tunnel. We have an lp tank, of course. If not, how should we go.

The Maryland law as written:
I took the liberty of putting certain paragraphs in bold. Now I believe that if your are carrying less that 1001 pounds of Class 2, division 2.1 flammable gas that you are okay to go thru those tunnels. Now if I am wrong, your vehicle darn well better be placarded and be properly registered for hauling HAZMAT material and have the proper insurance policy. And I could be wrong on both accounts. But I believe the requirement is to stop and turn off your propane tank valves.
This has been covered countless times on this forum. No propane tanks are allowed in the Baltimore Harbor or Fort McHenry tunnels, period. While some report getting away with it, others report being turned around and/or ticketed. The signs approaching the tunnels make it very clear.
Whether the law as written is equally clear is irrelevant, unless you plan to argue your case on the spot with the state trooper or toll booth attendant.
