●Driving on snowy roads with normal tires is against the law.
●Transportation companies and shippers are also asked to check future weather forecasts and take wide detours to avoid areas experiencing snowfall.
● Expressway and national highways may be closed at the same time.

In the case of simultaneous road closures, you may be required to make a U-turn at Expressway interchange (IC) where the road closure ends, as you will not be able to exit onto the national highway.
