It's spring when the snow melts and it's warm and cheerful, but you shouldn't let your guard down. Traffic management members and manner-up characters "Manati" who protect the safety and security of Expressway will call for compliance with the three "Spring Traffic Safety Priority Points" (see next page) through videos on Twitter. Watch the video, follow the NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office official account (@e_nexco_kita), attach "#Your safe driving support team", and tweet "Traffic safety declaration and message to loved ones" We will present original goods to up to 100 people who have done so.

Four. NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office, Spring Traffic Safety Priority Points

  1. Make sure you wear seat belts and child seats properly in all seats!
    The fatality rate of non-seatbelt wearers in traffic accidents on the Expressway is about 20 times higher than that of wearers! (Investigation by the National Police Agency)
    To protect your loved ones and lives, be sure to wear seat belts and child seats in all seats, including the back seats, not just the driver and passenger seats!
  2. 10km slower than usual!
    When it gets warmer and the road surface gets better, even those who drive cautiously in winter tend to speed up.
    Each and every one of us keeps in mind to "speed down 10 kilometers more than usual" and continue to be alert and drive carefully!
  3. Accidents in aside driving increase rapidly in spring!
    In the spring, the rate of accidents caused by aside driving increases sharply, probably because it is warm and cheerful.
    On the Expressway, you can drive about 28 meters per second, so it is strictly forbidden to drive while looking at a little smartphone!
    While driving, concentrate on driving!
