• Q4
  Are spaces with fast chargers parking spaces only for electric vehicles?
  A4

  Parking capacity of parking areas on the Metropolitan Expressway are limited, so charging spaces double as normal parking spaces, and are not exclusively for charging. Avoid parking in the charging space for long periods. We ask for your cooperation in sharing use of this space.

• Q5
  Why is the use of parking areas sometimes restricted on weekends?
  A5

  We limit the use of particular parking areas on weekend late nights to discourage malicious behavior by street racers and disturbances by some drivers. The general public can still use the toilet even during restricted times. Feel free to approach our on-site personnel when using the toilet.
  *However, toilet use may not be allowed depending on on-site circumstances.
  This inconveniences users of the parking area, but we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
  
  Usage restriction date and time
  Saturday late night to Sunday early morning
  *It may be in place on days other than the above (pre-holiday, New Year's holiday, GW, etc.).
