8 Request for safe driving in winter

Last year, about 1.7 times as many traffic accidents occurred during the winter (November-April) Expressway in Hokkaido as compared to the summer (May-October).

Winter roads are covered with snow and ice, making them very slippery. Driving at the same speed and handling as in summer is extremely dangerous. Pay attention to "speed down" and "vehicle distance", and pay particular attention to the following places.
