Comparison with last year (reference)

Due to reduced travel during last year's (2025) Obon period caused by severe weather, the number of traffic jams this year is expected to increase compared to last year. Please note that last year's figures include traffic jams caused by accidents and other incidents.

1. The number of traffic jams over 10km includes the number of traffic jams over 30km.
2. The forecast for 2026 is based on data collected over a 10-day period from August 7th (Friday) to August 16th (Sunday), 2026.
3. The data for 2025 is compiled from the 10-day period from August 8th (Friday) to August 17th (Sunday), 2025.

2. Key points for alleviating traffic congestion

1. Be careful of slowing down in areas where warnings are issued, such as when In-bound!
2. While driving, please avoid stepping on the brakes unnecessarily and maintain a sufficient following distance!
3. Please refrain from changing lanes recklessly during traffic congestion, as this may lead to further worsening of traffic congestion!

3． Please drive safely

Please cooperate by "wearing seat belts in all seats" and "taking frequent and early breaks." Also, please pay attention to what is ahead as you drive on Expressway and be aware of rear-end collisions at the end of traffic jams.

If you hear or see information about wrong-way driving, slow down, keep a sufficient distance, and keep a close eye on the movements of the vehicle ahead. For details, please see below.
