 Strong winter-like atmospheric pressure is expected to continue from the night of the 22nd (Friday) to the night of the 23rd (Saturday).

As a result of this, heavy snow and blizzards (poor visibility) may lead to chain restrictions and traffic closures on Expressway mainly in Hokkaido, the Tohoku region, and Niigata Prefecture (please see the attached map for details).

In particular, a heavy snow warning has been issued in Niigata Prefecture, and heavy snow is likely to continue.

In addition, general national Expressway that run parallel to the expressway may be closed, and extensive detours may be required, so please refrain from unnecessary and non-urgent outings.

We would like to ask all transportation companies and shipper companies to check the weather forecast and other factors in the future, and to consider making wide-area detours and adjusting the transportation date for their cooperation.

2.ノーマルタイヤでの冬道走行は法令違反です

 高速道路上では、自力走行不能車両が一台でも発生すると、長時間の渋滞や通行止めにつながる恐れがあります。不要不急のお出かけはお控えいただき、やむを得ず高速道路をご利用される場合は、必ず冬用タイヤの装着とタイヤチェーンを携行していただくとともに、特に冬道を走行する際にはチェーンの装着をお願いします。

For winter tires, please attach studless notation (domestic notation) or snowflake mark (international notation) to all wheels, and attach chains to drive wheels. In addition, single-axle vehicles, combination vehicles, unladen vehicles, and older vehicles tend to get stuck especially on snowy roads, so be careful.
