  • Traffic volume is the total cross-sectional traffic volume of all vehicle types between Kawasaki Ukishima JCT and Umihotaru PA, including vehicles other than ETC vehicles (traffic counter [preliminary value from a traffic volume (approximate number) automatic measurement device installed on the road])
  • It was excluded from the comparison target on March 20, 2008 (Thursday/Holiday) of the previous year because it was a flying stone consecutive holiday
  • Excluded from comparison on Saturday, March 14, 2009, the previous week, because traffic was light due to the suspension of traffic due to strong winds.
  • On March 22, 2009 (Sunday), traffic was blocked due to strong winds (16:40 to 19:00), but the same value as the traffic counter measurement was used.
