Regarding efforts to prevent accidental entry in cooperation with navigation application companies

NEXCO CENTRAL (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") will strengthen its efforts to prevent mopeds from accidentally entering Expressway when using navigation apps. Starting March 26, 2024 (Tuesday), NAVITIME Japan Co., Ltd.'s ``Delivery NAVITIME'' app will use a screen display and voice guidance to warn people at points where mopeds are likely to accidentally enter Expressway. We will start providing information on points to be careful of when entering by mistake. This initiative was made possible through collaboration between six Expressway companies, including our company, and Navitime Japan Co., Ltd.

When the delivery vehicle is set to be a "moped", entrances and exits where mopeds are likely to enter Expressway by mistake are displayed as "accidental entry caution points" on the smartphone app screen. In addition, an icon indicating the distance to the point and the prohibition of entry will be displayed, and a voice will alert you by saying, ``There is a high-speed entrance in front of you. Please be careful.''

By supporting safer and more secure delivery, we will prevent mopeds from erroneously entering Expressway and reduce traffic accidents.

There are 1,105 cases of accidental entry of motorbikes, bicycles, and pedestrians onto Expressway each year within our jurisdiction.※1Of these incidents, mopeds account for 54%, more than half. We are working on-site to prevent accidental entry by installing green colored pavement and road stickers near Expressway entrances and exits.※2. In addition, in response to accidents caused by mopeds involving accidental incursions when using navigation apps, which have been on the rise in recent years, we have created a video that introduces ``How to set route guidance that does not use Expressway'' when using navigation apps.※3We are working on awareness-raising activities in collaboration with related organizations by creating information and flyers.
