2. NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office Summer Traffic Safety Priority Points
- Observe the speed limit and keep an appropriate following distance!
The summer season (July and August), when demand for tourism rises, is the period with the highest Expressway volume throughout the year.
By being conscious of basic points such as observing the speed limit and securing an appropriate distance between vehicles, the risk of an accident will be greatly reduced!
When using Expressway, be aware of the above points and enjoy Hokkaido in summer to the fullest!
- Watch out for careless driving! Take frequent breaks!
Driving for a long time causes fatigue, which leads to careless driving and drowsy driving.
When using Expressway, take frequent breaks before you feel tired! - Wear seat belts and child seats in all seats, including the back seats!
The fatality rate for those not wearing seatbelts in traffic accidents on Expressway is about 14 times that for those wearing seatbelts! (2020 National Police Agency survey)
However, the seat belt wearing rate on Expressway is 99.6% for the driver's seat and 78.0% for the rear seat, which is still low compared to the driver's seat. (2020 National Police Agency/JAF survey)
In order to protect important people and precious lives, please be sure to wear seat belts not only in the driver's seat and front passenger's seat, but also in all seats including the back seat, and use a child seat for small children! - Watch out for motorcycle accidents!
Touring by motorcycle is pleasant in Hokkaido in the summer, and Doto Expressway is a particularly popular course, but looking at the data for the past three years, about 70% of the motorcycle accidents that occurred on Expressway within the jurisdiction of the Hokkaido Regional Head Office occurred during the summer. is occurring.
It is difficult for a vehicle to recognize the road shoulder, road side strip, and slipping between vehicles, and it is extremely likely that it will lead to a serious accident, so please do not do it!
Also, while driving, it is very easy to get tired because your whole body is exposed to the wind, so be sure to take frequent breaks and drive safely!
