Regarding congestion countermeasures, we will implement the following measures based on this traffic congestion forecast and past congestion situation. Also, in the past congestion period, small cars were parked in large car parking lots, which caused inconvenience to large car customers, and we plan to secure large car parking.
| Main line section | Rest facility |
|---|---|
| In-bound speed decrease reminder measures at the hill, etc. * 1 | Arrangement of parking lot organizers at rest facilities |
| Relieve darkness and oppressive feeling by increasing the illumination of tunnel lighting | Secure parking for large vehicles |
| Measures to alert the rear end of a traffic jam |
- 1: In-bound in a section of speed, such as temporarily slope is reduced, to shrink the distance between vehicles, since the traffic congestion caused by vehicle braking occurs, make the provision of speed recovery information by marking plate or the like.
