2 Request from NEXCO EAST Tohoku Branch
- If you are going to North Tohoku, please wear winter tires!
In areas with high altitudes such as Expressway and Ban-Etsu Expressway in Kita-Tohoku, it is likely that snow will accumulate on the road surface shortly after the first snowfall of the year, so please wear early winter tires. To do. - Even if you wear winter tires, drive carefully on snowy roads!
Even if you have winter tires, you may get into an accident because you are not accustomed to the speed, steering wheel and brake operation according to the snowy road. Keep a sufficient distance between cars, reduce speed and try to drive safely.
