Three important themes this time! !!

（1）逆走は、命にかかわる危険行為です！
　逆走車による重大事故が発生しています。
　逆走が起こりやすい場所や、逆走車を見かけた場合の対応策を、今一度ご確認ください。

​Serious accidents caused by vehicles driving the wrong way on Expressway have occurred. The probability of death in a wrong-way driving accident is approximately 15 times higher than the overall incidence of accidents on Expressway. Please review the locations where wrong-way driving is likely to occur and what to do if you see a vehicle driving the wrong way.

Here are some places where Expressway occurs:

Wrong-way driving occurs near interchanges, toll booths, service areas, and parking areas. In many cases, wrong-way driving begins with taking the wrong road, and is most common at junctions with main roads and at entrances and exits where Expressway and general roads connect.

If you see a car driving the wrong Expressway, check out the wrong way car information...

Vehicles driving the wrong way tend to drive in the overtaking lane. If you spot a vehicle driving the wrong way ahead, drive carefully to avoid a collision. Then, have a passenger call 110, the road emergency number (#9910), or an emergency phone number at the nearest service area, or notify a toll booth staff member.
When we receive a report of a wrong-way driver, we will immediately announce it on information boards and highway radio.

（2）渋滞最後尾での追突事故に注意！
　十分な車間距離をとるとともに、「ながら運転」は絶対にお止めください。

（3）バイク事故防止！
　すり抜け禁止、安全速度の遵守、定期的な休憩を取りましょう。

Unlike bicycles, motorcycles are easily affected by weather conditions such as rain and wind, and since there is nothing to protect you in the event of an accident, even a minor accident can lead to a serious accident. When riding a motorcycle on the Expressway, keep your speed moderate and keep a sufficient distance from other vehicles. Also, do not try to overtake on the shoulder of the road or by slipping through cars, as this is very dangerous. Furthermore, motorcycles are exposed to strong winds in the same position for long periods of time, so fatigue easily accumulates. Make a conscious effort to stop at service areas and parking areas and take regular breaks.
