note)
  • The traffic volume is the cross-sectional traffic volume of all vehicle types, including those other than ETC vehicles (traffic counter [preliminary value from an automatic measuring device for traffic volume (approximately) installed on roads])
  • Compared to the week before last week, since the previous week has been closed for three consecutive holidays from March 20, 2009 (Friday/holiday) to March 22 (Sun).
  • Excluded from comparison on Saturday, March 14, 2009, two weeks before the Aqualine, due to the low traffic volume due to the suspension of traffic due to strong winds.

The traffic jam situation from Saturday, March 28th to Sunday, March 29th, together with the traffic volume, will be announced on Monday, March 30th.
