2 Implementation contents

We will hand out leaflets and goods to customers who use the Expressway, and call for traffic safety.

(1) Dozing driving prevention

If you are tired from driving long distances or playing, refresh yourself by taking frequent breaks with SA / PA.
Even if you are not tired, please take a break once every two hours.

(2) Prevention of sideways driving

More than half of the causes of accidents on Expressway May to October are "sideways" (NEXCO EAST survey).
A momentary look aside can lead to a major accident. Never operate your smartphone or mobile phone while driving.

(3) Eradication of drunk driving

Please do not drive if you drink a little.

(4) Preventing accidents with motorcycles

In 2017, 9 people were killed in an accident involving motorcycles on all Expressway managed by NEXCO EAST. On July 15th, 2017, an accident in which one driver of a motorcycle died also occurred on a Expressway in Hokkaido. Even on Expressway that are easy to drive, please keep the speed regulation and take frequent breaks to drive safely.

Past implementation status

Last year, we cooperated with many people and called on our customers for road safety.
