《From a traffic forecaster》
During the Obon period, it rained over a wide area in Hokkaido, and the traffic volume tended to decrease compared to last year. In addition, the traffic volume tended to be dispersed during the Bon Festival this year, and the number of traffic jams on August 13 was greatly reduced. Thank you for your cooperation in distributed use to alleviate traffic congestion.
