3. 3. Congestion measures business outline
Congestion occurs on the Kan-Kan-Etsu Expressway during periods of heavy traffic, such as the busy summer season, long holidays, and holidays and ski seasons. The main reasons for this are that the speed of the car slows down at the point of change (sag part) from the Out-bound slope to the In-bound slope of the main line, and that the vehicles are concentrated at the divergence / merging of Arashiyama PA.
Congestion can be expected to be alleviated by developing a lane near Ranzan PA.
Mechanism of traffic congestion
◆ Mechanism of traffic congestion in the sag section
◆ Mechanism of congestion at divergence / confluence
