NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture) implemented a crackdown in the Yokogawa service area (Out-bound line) on the Joshinetsu Expressway for vehicles that violate the Road Law (Vehicle Restriction Ordinance) due to all vehicles being pulled in at midnight.

From the past, from the viewpoint of the maintenance of road structures and the prevention of traffic accidents, we regularly carry out crackdowns at toll gates, but the current situation is that there is no end to violating vehicles, and vehicles that violate weight are road structures. There is a great adverse effect on the environment and further strengthening of crackdowns is required.

This is the first time that all vehicles have been controlled by the Joshin-etsu Expressway, and it will be the second time within the jurisdiction of the Kanto Regional Head Office Office (the first time is the Kan-etsu Kan-Etsu Expressway: Akagi Kogen SA (2007)).

We believe that by conducting such (pulling-in of all vehicles) crackdown drivers, we will show our stance that “vehicles that violate the law will never be permitted” and make them aware of this, which will lead to deterrence of future violations. I will.

Going forward, we will continue to implement appropriate and timely guidance and crackdowns, and will strictly deal with malicious offending drivers.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, and we thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

• All vehicle pull-in: For all passing vehicles, once go through the service area, etc.
