2. NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office Winter Traffic Safety Priority Points

1. Early winter equipment for your heart and car!

   Road surface conditions may change rapidly due to temperature differences between day and night and snowfall. Please install it on the winter tires as soon as possible and try to reduce the speed according to the road surface conditions.
   Also, as other winter equipment, don't forget to replace it with a winter wiper, replace it with an antifreeze type washer fluid, and check around the engine to prepare for the full-scale winter.

   
2. Winter-style driving at a speed of 10 kilometers slower than in summer!

   On the Expressway in Hokkaido, the number of traffic accidents caused by steering wheel and brake operation mistakes has increased about 5.7 times in winter compared to summer (according to our research). Depending on the weather and road conditions, try to "speed down 10 kilometers from summer" and switch to winter driving.

   
3. Check weather information and road information before going out!
   Winter weather is volatile. Check the weather forecast frequently not only on the day you go out but also a few days in advance. To check the Expressway information, the NEXCO EAST website and official Twitter are convenient. Please use it when you use the Expressway.
