January 14, 2021 5:10 PM
Vehicles stuck near the Hokuriku Highway at the Megatadani parking line while it is snowing = Around 8pm on January 9, Maruoka Town, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture
Hokuriku Expressway Kanazu Interchange (IC) in Fukui prefecture, which had a maximum of about 1,500 cars. The beginning of a large-scale stalemate near the Fukui IC was the slippage of a large trailer. The Japan Central Expressway was closed to traffic in some sections and was urgently restored, but due to congestion on the general roads around the Maruoka IC, there was “exit congestion” and the IC was delayed and could not be stopped. driveway. It seems to have led to the expansion of the scale. What was happening at the scene?
On January 9, when the first stagnation occurred on the Hokuriku Highway, the snowfall accumulated over 24 hours since midnight reached 56 cm at the Yamakubo Observatory in Maruoka City, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. Personnel in charge of the Kanazawa branch of Japan’s Central Highway and the Fukui River National Roads Office of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said: “It was more than expected.”
At around 11:35 am the same day, a large trailer that slid between the Maruoka IC and the Fukui Kita IC on the hill blocked the lane and the next vehicle was unable to move. At 11:40, we decided to close the road between Maruoka IC and Fukui IC, but it took a while for employees to move from Fukui IC, where the office is located, to Maruoka IC, and it was around 40 that Maruoka IC was closed physically. It was 12:22 pm, a minute later.
Drivers are only aware of ICs, road-installed information panels and membership exchange sites, and the person in charge of Japan Central Expressway says, “At least 100 cars have entered the expressway during this period “.
Even on the descent, around 11:25 pm on the 9th, a large truck got stuck near the Fukui Kita IC exit and the next car got stuck, so the traffic between Fukui IC and Fukui Kita IC was closed. However, because the main road near Maruoka IC was also congested, the car exiting the Hokuriku road got stuck in front of the IC.
