In-bound U-turn started on the 14th (Tuesday) as well, but due to the dispersion of traffic compared to the Out-bound, traffic congestion of 10 km or more 5 times less than last year (6 times last year) Did.
On the Tohoku Expressway in Fukushima Prefecture, due to the effects of traffic concentration and traffic accidents, there was a section of intermittent traffic that temporarily exceeded 60 km.
As a cause of the decrease in the number of traffic congestion, the usage of customers is decentralized, the congestion at the toll gates has been eased due to the increase in the ETC usage rate, and simple LEDs such as "Caution for speed reduction" on the main line. It is believed that the effects such as the installation of signboards were exhibited.
