What is the Yokohama Ring Road?
Yokohama Ring Road "Yokokan" is a motorway that forms the framework of Yokohama's road network.
We plan to connect a radius of 10 to 15 km from the city center of Yokohama, and the Yokohama Loop South Line is currently under business. About the west section, we examine while looking at road network plan of Tokyo metropolitan area and road conditions of Motoichi.

Role of Yokohama Ring Roads
High-speed Kanagawa No. 7 Yokohama North Line / Yokohama Northwest Line connect to the outer ring road via the Tomei Expressway, and the Yokohama Loop South Line will be a part of the Tokyo metropolitan area as part of the Yokohama Shonan Road and the Ken-O Expressway. By forming a road network, access to various parts of the country, such as the Tohoku Expressway, the Kanetsu Expressway, Chuo Expressway, etc., will be dramatically improved.
In addition, the improvement of the horizontal ring will secure multiple emergency transportation routes in the event of a disaster, thereby strengthening disaster prevention capabilities.
Furthermore, the strengthening of the road network is expected to help alleviate traffic congestion on existing roads, shortening travel time, and improving the environment.
The horizontal ring smoothes the flow of people and things, supports the development of Yokohama, and greatly contributes to the safety and security of citizens.
