  • Approximately 80% of those who avoid traffic congestion said "change departure time"
  • Approximately 80% of those who change the departure time say "accelerate departure for 1-3 hours"

However, if heavy traffic is expected, it may not be possible to avoid traffic congestion if you depart one to three hours earlier.

By viewing traffic congestion forecast information and avoiding traffic congestion, you can drive comfortably and alleviate traffic congestion on Expressway. Please use the traffic jam forecast information.
In addition, East Japan Expressway Co., Ltd. will analyze the factors that cause traffic congestion and promote traffic congestion countermeasures effectively and efficiently in order to provide customers with comfortable and reliable Expressway.
