Partial excerpt from the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act (moving vehicles in the event of a disaster)
Article 76-6 Paragraph 1 A road administrator shall stop the passage of vehicles on a road in the event of a disaster related to the prefecture in which the road it manages or the region of the prefecture adjacent to or adjacent to it. Or, it may be significantly stagnant, and the vehicle or other property may obstruct the passage of emergency vehicles, which may cause a significant obstacle to implementing disaster emergency measures, and an urgent need to ensure the passage of emergency vehicles. If it is found that there is a decree, the section of the road to be managed shall be designated by the Cabinet Order, and the occupant, owner or manager of the vehicle or other property (in paragraph 3, item 3 Occupants, etc.”) of the relevant vehicle or other property to a location outside the nearby road, and take other necessary measures to ensure the passage of emergency vehicles on the designated road section.
