NEXCO EAST Niigata Regional Head Office (Chuo Ward, Niigata City) has a rest facility in its jurisdiction with the aim of encouraging early winter tire replacement and enlightening safe driving on snowy roads as the winter begins. We will survey the installation situation of winter tires in and announce the results.
This time, compared to the previous survey (conducted from December 7th to 9th), the winter tire installation rate was higher. Since the winter tire installation rate has reached 90% or more, we will finalize this survey.
It is expected to snow from today to Saturday, so please continue to be careful when driving on the Expressway and be careful not to drive too fast.
