Request from NEXCO East Niigata Regional Head Office

On Expressway prefecture, we observe the first snow on November 15 and carry out snow removal work, so please replace it with early winter tires. - Please drive slowly and safely when driving on snowy roads.
On snowy roads, even with winter tires, the same speed and handling as in other seasons is extremely dangerous. Please drive slowly and safely without using the "fast steering", "quick acceleration", "quick braking", and other operations with "sudden" while keeping the inter-vehicle distance sufficiently low. - "Frequent information gathering before and after going out"
Due to the sudden change of weather on the winter Expressway it may be snowing at the destination or the passing point even if the departure place is sunny, so please wear winter tires and carry a tire chain.
