A comparison of the number of traffic jams during the New Year period in fiscal year 2023 (last year) is as follows. Note that last year's figures include traffic jams caused by accidents, etc.

1. The number of traffic jams over 10km includes the number of traffic jams over 30km.
2. 2024 Degree forecasts are available at 2024 for the 10-day period from December 27 (Friday) to January 5, 2025 (Sunday).
3. FY2023 results are calculated for the 10 days from December 27, 2023 (Wed) to January 5 2024 (Fri).

2. Key points for alleviating traffic congestion

1. Be careful of slowing down in areas where warnings are issued, such as when In-bound!
2. While driving, please avoid stepping on the brakes unnecessarily and maintain a sufficient following distance!
3. Please refrain from changing lanes recklessly during traffic congestion, as this may lead to further worsening of traffic congestion!

3． Please drive safely

Please cooperate by "wearing seat belts in all seats" and "taking frequent and early breaks." Also, please pay attention to what is ahead as you drive on Expressway and be aware of rear-end collisions at the end of traffic jams.

4. Eliminate wrong-way driving –Expressway are one-way streets –

Driving the wrong way is a dangerous act that can be life-threatening. U-turns and backing up are strictly prohibited. If you hear or see information about wrong-way driving, slow down, keep a sufficient distance, and keep a close eye on the movements of the vehicle ahead. For details, please see below.
