An explanatory video of the maintenance effect associated with the opening of the outer ring road (Misato Minami to Takaya)
We will explain in a simple video the effect of maintenance due to the opening of the outer ring road (Misato Minami-Takaya).
This video was created by focusing on specific measures to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs *) established by the United Nations.

Smoothing traffic in the city center and improving logistics productivity
○ With this opening, four radiant roads (East Kanto Road, Joban Expressway, Tohoku Expressway, Kan-Etsu Expressway) will be connected.
○ It will be possible to access the Kanto region (Saitama, Tochigi, Gunma, etc.) from the Gulf area of Chiba without going through the city center, and the required time will be greatly reduced.
Significantly reduced travel time from the Gulf area to the northern Kanto area
Voices from companies along the line
○ The Wangan area around the Takatani JCT is an intermediate point between Narita Airport and Haneda Airport, and is convenient because it has the Shutoko Wangan Line and the East Kanto Expressway, which makes the outer ring even more convenient.
○ By opening the outer ring, accessibility to Tohoku Expressway and Kan-Etsu Expressway will be improved and location potential will also be improved.

Traffic congestion in the city center improved due to traffic conversion to the outer ring road
○ The traffic between Saitama and Chiba (Tohoku Expressway Expressway east Kanto Expressway) was via the city center (Metropolitan Expressway), but about 80% of the traffic was converted to the outer ring road.
○ Due to the opening of the Chiba section of the Outer Ring Road and the four lanes of Horikiri JCT-Kosuge JCT and Itabashi JCT-Kumanocho JCT, the traffic congestion loss time at the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway inside the central ring (including the central ring) has been reduced by about 30%.
Changes in routes and traffic conditions before and after opening
Contributing to improved productivity of companies
○ Saitama and Chiba are connected without going through the center of Tokyo, the time required is shortened, and convenience is improved.
○ For this reason, companies operating buses from Saitama to Chiba can increase the number of flights (4 round trips / day → 6 round trips / day) by the same number of drivers by shortening the required time (125 minutes → 90 minutes) And contribute to improving the productivity of companies
Voices of bus operators
By shortening the time required to change routes, it is possible to make 6 round trips with the same number of drivers, and the number of users has doubled.
The opening of the outer ring road (Chiba section) helped improve productivity.
Promote wide-area tourism exchange in various parts of the Kanto region and the Gulf area
○ It is expected to promote wide-area tourism exchange by improving accessibility and increasing the number of route options between the Gulf area where popular tourist facilities are scattered and tourist facilities in the Saitama area and northern Kanto area. (For example, the time required from Tsukuba to Tokyo Disney Resort is reduced by about 18 minutes)
List of large facilities in the Gulf area
➊ Kasai Rinkai Park
❷ Largest shopping center in Japan
❸ Large shopping center
➍ Large warehouse club
❺ Largest shopping center in Japan
❻ Large sports facility
❼ Makuhari Messe
❽ outlet mall
[Calculation conditions]
- Roads other than the section opened this time:
- 2015 National Road / Street Traffic Situation Survey Travel time (12 hours average during daytime) required for general traffic volume survey
- Outer Ring Route (Expressway):
- This open section will take time depending on the speed (80km / h)
Improved traffic environment in the area along Route 298
Improvement of driving environment on general roads in Ichikawa / Matsudo city ①
○ At 43 intersections of major general roads in Ichikawa / Matsudo city, the traffic volume decreased by about 10%.
○ As a result of the reduction in traffic volume and the improvement in travel speed, the time lost due to road congestion is reduced by about 20%.
Improvement of driving environment on general roads in Ichikawa and Matsudo City ②
○ The traveling time in the north-south general roads in Ichikawa / Matsudo city has been shortened, improving the driving environment in the area.
○ In particular, the maximum transit time on the Ichikawa Matsudo Line has been reduced by about 40%.
○ The maximum transit time between National Road No. 6 and Keiyo Road Baraki IC is approximately 30% shorter.
Improvement of living road environment
○ At 10 intersections of residential roads * in Ichikawa City, the traffic volume has decreased by approximately 30% (approximately 14,000 vehicles / day), and the environment for residential roads has improved.
○ In addition, the number of sudden brakings on community roads has decreased by about 50%, improving safety.
Function as a disaster prevention space
The wide road space of the outer ring functions as a disaster prevention space such as temporary evacuation routes and emergency transportation routes in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake, and the prevention of the spread of fire, contributing to the improvement of regional safety.
Creating a green road space
A tree-planting zone will be set up along the road to create a green road space.
Housing life-related facilities
The underground part functions as a space that houses lifelines such as electricity, telephone, gas, water and sewage, and contributes to the passage function of the walking space and the improvement of the scenery.
River water quality improvement effect by sewer maintenance
If the outer ring is maintained and the sewer system such as the Matsudo trunk line is advanced, it will lead to the improvement of water quality in the surrounding rivers.
In Matsudo City and Ichikawa City, it is hoped that traffic congestion, accidents and living environment will be improved at an early stage.
[Reference] Recent traffic conditions on the outer ring road
- * Definition of the number of traffic jams: The number of times when a train that repeats low speed running or stop / start at 20 km / h or less continues for 1 km or more and 15 minutes or more (preliminary value)
Before opening H29.6.4 (Sun) -H29.9.1 (Fri) After opening H30.6.3 (Sun) -H30.8.31 (Fri) - * Because it is a traffic congestion definition in statistical processing, it may differ from the traffic congestion information provision status.
- ○ With the opening of the outer ring road Misato Minami IC-Takaya JCT, the traffic volume of the existing outer ring road (between Oizumi JCT and Misato Minami IC) is increasing, resulting in increased congestion and congestion.
- ○ congestion, congestion mainly sag part (Out-bound from the hill In-bound has occurred in the recess approaches the hill), to inform the congestion point, such as the installation of suppressing label signs and speed reduced to encourage speed recovery, the measures implemented doing.
- ○ We will continue to carry out a detailed analysis of traffic trends to alleviate congestion and congestion on the outer ring road, and will study and implement necessary measures in the future.
If you see these signs, beware of unintentional slowdowns,
Thank you for your cooperation in alleviating traffic congestion.
