3 Requests to Customers
NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office is making efforts to remove snow so that customers can drive safely and comfortably, but traffic accidents on snowy roads are endless. Snowy roads are slippery, and sudden braking and sudden steering wheel driving are extremely dangerous. Sometimes, even if you follow the rules, a car that violates the rules can cause an accident. Please keep a sufficient distance between cars, keep your speed down, and drive safely.
