Traffic Jams due to a Return Home
For many Japanese people, Bon holidays will end today.
帰省からの帰還による渋滞
Therefore, people who returned home will come back to areas where they currently work.
日本で働く多くの社会人にとって、今日でお盆休みは終了します。
Of course, this will cause major traffic jams all over Japan.
すなわち、帰省していた人たちは、皆元居た地域に戻っていきます。
By the way, it is said that most traffic jams on Japanese highways occur in sag sections, where the slope is changed from a decline to a uprise.
これは当然、全国各地での大渋滞に繋がります。
Actually, I also had to come back to Tokyo today.
ちなみに、日本の高速道路での渋滞はサグ部(下り坂から上り坂に変わる場所)で発生するものが大半だそうです。
However, since I really don’t like traffic jams, I set off at around 2:30 A.M., and arrived at around 6:30 A.M.
実は私も今日、東京に戻る必要がありました。
I will go to bed from now until noon.
しかし私は渋滞が大嫌いなので、朝2時半頃に出発し、6時半頃に到着しました。
