Toyama Prefecture decided on the 29th to call on companies to return their employees as soon as possible through economic organizations in the prefecture to prevent them from getting stuck due to heavy snowfall and large-scale traffic jams.
It is extremely unusual for the prefecture to call for early return home due to heavy snow, and it is also called on Twitter.
Due to the record heavy snowfall earlier this month, Tokai Hokuriku Motor Co., Ltd. suffered a large-scale stalling in Toyama Prefecture, causing heavy traffic jams on national and prefectural roads in the prefecture.
In the prefecture, there is a risk of heavy snowfall from now on on the 30th, so preventive road closure measures are being taken on the expressway, and the prefecture is stuck on national roads and prefectural roads during the rush time to return home. On the 29th, in order to prevent heavy traffic jams, we decided to call on each company to return their employees as soon as possible through economic organizations in the prefecture.
It is extremely unusual for the prefecture to call for early return home due to heavy snowfall, and the prefecture's official Twitter account will also call for it.
In addition, the prefecture will gather related departments from 4:00 pm to reconfirm measures such as snow removal.
