2. Parking etiquette

SA and PA are spaces that can be used equally by all Expressway users. Parking spaces are divided according to vehicle type and size into categories such as "standard vehicles," "large vehicles," "standard and large vehicles combined," "trailers," "bus priority (exclusive)," and "disabled parking." Please be considerate and considerate to others and use the rest facilities appropriately so that more vehicles can use them.

• Regarding trailer mass
  There are limited rest areas and parking spaces available for trailers, and if regular cars or large vehicles park in trailer spaces, it becomes impossible to secure a parking spot for trailers. We ask that you be considerate of others and park in the designated parking areas.

• Each parking lot's website provides photos and videos of parking etiquette. Please check them out as well.
