NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Branch (Sapporo City Atsubetsu Ward) will start recruiting for Sawayanagi "Smile Highway Kawanagi" on Traffic Safety on September 1st.

This is implemented as a part of the "Smile Highway Declaration", a customer-participation type traffic safety awareness campaign that has been in effect since 2013, and we are sympathetic to safe driving, preventing traffic accidents and improving traffic manners It is the purpose.

Beginning in 2013 and becoming the 10th time this time, I divided the theme into "traffic safety division of highway" and "traffic safety division of winter in Hokkaido". In addition, the recruitment period is also from 3 months to 4 months so that more people can participate. In addition to the homepage application method, we can also apply by postcard.

The selection will be conducted by the Kawayanagi family, Yasumasa Namikoshi (Secretary General of the Hokkaido Kawayanagi Federation) and Smile Highway Ambassador Oklahoma (Creative Office Queue).

We are currently looking for works that express the feelings of traffic safety, such as feelings when using the Expressway and things that we keep in mind while driving, in the 17 sounds of 5/7/5. We will utilize the prize-winning works by posting it on the main line as a traffic safety slogan, so we encourage not only drivers, but also those who are only accompanied by children and cars to apply their thoughts on traffic safety.
