NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture) provides short-term parking on the E4 Tohoku Expressway (hereinafter referred to as ``Tohoku Tohoku Expressway'') Hasuda Service Area (hereinafter referred to as ``SA'') In-bound line (hereinafter referred to as `` In-bound''). We would like to inform you that we have started the demonstration experiment of "Mass" on Thursday, December 21, 2020.
"Short-term parking spaces" are designed to ensure that large vehicle drivers have a more reliable opportunity to take a break by making some of the large vehicle parking spaces (15 spaces) available for parking for up to 60 minutes. . In this demonstration experiment, we installed "short-term parking spaces" at rest facilities where many large vehicles leave the SA/PA without being able to park due to the presence of vehicles parked for long periods of time, thereby changing the opportunities for breaks. We will verify the congestion situation including surrounding rest facilities, effective maintenance locations, etc. For customers using Hasuda SA (In-bound), please follow the information signs in the parking lot and use it appropriately.

1. Maintenance status of Hasuda SA (In-bound) “Short-term parking space”

Information signs (see Figure 1) have been installed in the parking lot to guide you to the location of the short-term parking spaces. In addition, road markings (see Figure 2) have been placed to make it clear that the parking spaces are limited to short-term parking spaces.

2. Request for use

Customers using the "short-term parking spaces" are asked to follow the information signs and road markings inside the rest facility and leave within 60 minutes after parking.
Additionally, if you will be parking for more than 60 minutes, please use a parking space other than the short-term parking spaces.

3. Background to the introduction of “short-term parking spaces”

NEXCO EAST, NEXCO CENTRAL, and NEXCO WEST are working to expand the number of parking spaces in their SAs and PAs. However, SAs and PAs located mainly in urban areas remain congested due to the large proportion of vehicles parked for long periods of time. As a result, some vehicles are leaving SA/PA without being able to park, and it is thought that they are missing out on a much-needed opportunity to take a break.
By establishing "short-term parking spaces," we will ensure that more vehicles have the opportunity to park reliably.
In addition to Hasuda SA (In-bound), which will begin operation within NEXCO EAST jurisdiction, Kamikawachi SA (In-bound) will begin operation on November 28, 2020, Kunimi SA (Out-bound), Adachi Tara SA (Out-bound) ), we plan to gradually start operating the two locations by the end of 2021.
