Due to the passage of the south coast low pressure, heavy snow with snowfall is predicted in the Kanto region from the dawn of February 6, 2013 (Wednesday).
NEXCO EAST calls for refraining from wearing "winter tires" and going out with "normal tires", so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
When there was heavy snowfall in the Tokyo metropolitan area on January 14, 2013 (Monday), there were more than 120 accidents as well as traffic jams in many places on the Expressway within the Kanto Regional Head Office. This number is about 5 times the average number of occurrences per day. (NEXCO EAST survey)
In this way, in the Tokyo metropolitan area, sudden "snowfall" and "freezing" cause congestion on both Expressway and general roads, and traffic accidents tend to occur frequently. If snowfall is expected, Please refrain from using unnecessary or urgent cars.
Also, driving with "normal tires" on snowy roads is extremely dangerous. When using a car Please install winter tires. (*If you do not have winter tires, be sure to carry a tire chain.)
