 NEXCO東日本関東支社(埼玉県さいたま市)では、冬用タイヤの早期装着と雪道での安全運転を心掛けていただくため、12月中旬に管内の休憩施設において、冬用タイヤの装着状況調査(第1弾)を実施いたしました。
 冬用タイヤの装着率は小型車平均は49.7%、大型車平均は93.6%、全車種平均で59.6%となりました。昨年度同時期の調査(令和2年12月9日、13日実施)と比較すると、全車種装着率は上昇したものの、降雪地域の大型車の装着率が低下しました。また、小型車は約半数のお客さまが未装着でした。(調査詳細は別紙-1【PDF:205KB】参照)

It is against the law to drive on snowy or icy roads with summer tires.
Even in the metropolitan area where it does not normally snow, road surface freezes and snowfall may occur.

 なお、12月17日(金)夜間から18日(土)夜間にかけて管内の一部地域でも降雪や吹雪の恐れがあります。(別紙-2【PDF:523KB】参照)
 夏用タイヤでの積雪・凍結路面の走行は大変危険ですので、冬用タイヤの装着及びタイヤチェーンを携行し、最新の気象予報や道路情報をご確認のうえ、安全なドライブをお願いします。別紙-3【PDF:293KB】参照)

The NEXCO EAST Group has positioned the period from 2021 to 2025 as "a period that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs and transforms into a new future society," and is making various efforts.
We believe that the efforts of this "Winter Tire Installation Rate Survey" will contribute to the third SDGs target as a business activity that will lead to the reduction of casualties due to traffic deaths.
