Hokkaido office

NEXCO EAST Hokkaido branch office (Sapporo City Atsubetsu Ward), in collaboration with related organizations such as Hokkaido Police Department, in accordance with autumn 's National Traffic Safety Campaign period (September 21 - 30), "Autumn National Traffic Safety Campaign" We will carry out.

In autumn, when the days get shorter, there are many traffic accidents during the dusk, and the consciousness of securing the visibility by turning on the lights early prevents traffic accidents. Also, during the autumn holiday season, leisure-type traffic accidents are more likely to occur due to play fatigue, such as drowsy driving, side-by-side driving, excessive speed, and drunk driving.

In this campaign, Expressway in various parts of Hokkaido, in cooperation with local kindergarten students, elementary and junior high school students, and campaign girls, we call for prevention of accidents and safe driving, and the first snow starts to be observed in various parts of Hokkaido 10 Towards the moon, we call for early winter tire installation.

September 30th is the "day for zero traffic accident deaths". Please follow the traffic rules and make sure that each and every one is committed to traffic safety.
