Precautions for use

1. Precautions for use

1. Hokkaido's Expressway in winter can be closed due to sudden changes in the weather and snowfall. We cannot accept cancellations or refunds after you have started using this product, so please check the weather and traffic information carefully before setting off. Cancellation is possible if you do so before driving on Expressway.
2. If you drive beyond the target section of the plan you are applying for, you will be charged the normal fare in addition to the fare for this product for driving outside the target section. Please check the target section of the plan you are applying for.
3. If you apply for multiple plans at the same time, you will be charged for the multiple plans if you drive within the covered section of each plan even once. Please be careful when applying for multiple plans.
4. Even if the toll toll during the period of use is less than the Michitoku toll, the difference will not be refunded. Depending on the distance and time of use, it may be cheaper to use ETC discount than to use Michitoku, so please consider carefully before applying.

2. Request for safe driving in winter

1. Road conditions may change suddenly due to temperature differences between day and night, snowfall, etc. Please drive safely according to the weather and road conditions, and equip your vehicle with winter equipment such as winter tires as soon as possible.
2. When changing to winter tires, it becomes easier for tires to come off the road. Please check that the nuts are not loose, and refill the air pressure in the replaced tires to prevent accidents where the tires come off the road and tire bursts.
3. On snowy roads, you lose control of your car with a few driving mistakes. Please refrain from "sudden" operations such as "sudden steering wheel", "sudden acceleration", and "sudden braking", and try to drive carefully.
4. In order to avoid being caught in an unexpected blizzard or drifting snow, it is important to gather information not only on the day of your trip, but several days in advance. Check the weather and traffic information in advance with "DraTra".

"Scenic Byway" is a combination of the adjective Scenic of landscape and scene, and Byway that means side road and twist road.

This initiative aims to create beautiful scenery, vibrant communities, and attractive tourist spaces through collaboration between local communities and governments, using the roads as a starting point. Each route is carrying out activities unique to the area, such as planting flowers and cleaning the roads, developing recommended scenic spots in the area, and disseminating information about them. There are currently 14 designated routes and 3 candidate routes, with approximately 500 groups working on them. NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office is also participating in this initiative.
For more information, please see the Scenic Byway Hokkaido website.
