2024/09/24 Tuesday Announcements, Security

Pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles under 125cc are prohibited from entering expressways.

Expressways are spaces where cars travel at speeds of around 100km per hour, and it is very dangerous for pedestrians to enter them. Please do not enter them under any circumstances.

Recently, there have been cases of pedestrians using smartphone navigation apps walking on expressways, and bicycles and motorcycles under 125cc driving on expressways.

If you use a navigation app, set it to avoid expressways.
