Request for wearing winter tires
During heavy snowfall in the Tokyo metropolitan area on Monday, January 14, last year, traffic jams and accidents occurred at many points on the Expressway within the Kanto Regional Head Office.
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 you expect snowfall, please refrain from using unnecessary and urgent cars.
Driving with "normal tires" on snowy roads is extremely dangerous. If you are using a car, please install winter tires. (If you do not have winter tires, be sure to carry a tire chain.)
