How to use the dual-purpose cell

The dual-purpose space is a parking space that can be used by both regular and large vehicles depending on the usage situation of the parking area (marked with a broken line). In order for many customers to use it comfortably, please use it for both regular and large vehicles. For ordinary cars, please cooperate in parallel parking.

Some rest areas have designated parking spaces for full trailers (double-trailer trucks) exceeding 21 meters in length. When parking in these priority spaces, please check the signs and road markings, and we ask for your cooperation in refraining from parking if you are not driving a double-trailer truck.

Furthermore, in order to ensure that drivers have reliable opportunities to rest, we are conducting a social experiment with a parking reservation website for logistics companies.

Idling STOP!

Unnecessary idling emits CO2 and causes global warming, as well as waste of fuel and noise. Turn off the engine during breaks in service areas and parking areas. Many local governments are implementing an idling stop campaign.
