This sign indicates that an expressway (kōsoku dōro / 高速道路) is ahead.


The entry of motorbikes (less than 125cc, e.g. motor scooters or gentsuki / 原付), bicycles and pedestrians to expressways is prohibited by law.


Around half of the incidences of mistaken entry to the Nagoya Expressway involve riders of motorbikes less than 125cc.


Around 30 percent of mistaken entry to expressways is caused by smartphone map apps.


To prevent yourself mistakenly entering an expressway, check your map app's settings, and pay attention to road signage.

For riders of motorbikes less than 125cc:

①Select driving mode.
②Change your route option settings to avoid highways (expressways).

For riders of bicycles:
