東日本高速道路株式会社（以下、NEXCO東日本）関東支社及び中日本高速道路株式会社（以下、NEXCO中日本）東京支社・八王子支社では、年末年始期間[平成27年12月26日（土）～平成28年1月4日（月）の10日間]に関東甲信地方及び静岡県内（愛知県内の東名豊川ICまでを含む）の高速道路等で発生が予測される交通集中による渋滞（10km以上）の傾向と対策などをとりまとめましたのでお知らせいたします。
この渋滞予測を参考に、渋滞のピークを避け、出発時間を調整するなど旅行計画づくりにお役立てください。なお、過去の年末年始期間の渋滞実績と、最近の交通状況を踏まえて予測していますが、事故や天候の影響などで実際の渋滞状況が予測と違ってくる可能性もあるため、出発前に最新の交通情報をご確認ください。
In addition, each Expressway company provides traffic congestion forecast information and road traffic information with various tools. Please use it when using the Expressway.
1 Congestion prediction
(1) Trend of traffic congestion下り方面は分散傾向ですが、主に1月2日（土）～3日（日）に渋滞が発生すると予測しています。 上り方面は1月2日（土）～3日（日）に渋滞が集中すると予測しています。
By using the traffic congestion prediction and avoiding traffic congestion peaks, we hope that you can reduce traffic congestion and shorten travel time.
- 1：東京外環自動車道で予想される渋滞回数については、三郷南ICに向かう「外回り方面」、大泉JCTに向かう「内回り方面」とし、首都圏中央連絡自動車道は境古河ICに向かう「外回り方面」、茅ヶ崎JCTに向かう「内回り方面」としています。
- 2: The expected number of traffic jams on the Kita-Kanto Expressway is "Eastbound" towards Mito Minami IC and "Westbound" towards Takasaki JCT.
(2) Prediction of particularly long congestion (30 km or more)

3 Customer Service Initiatives (Countermeasures against congestion)
We will work to strengthen our customer services, including measures to alert people to the rear end of a traffic jam, staff parking lots in the service area, install temporary toilets, and secure parking for large vehicles.
