Japan's Road Network Struggles to Meet Demands: Expert Warns of Prewar Traffic Levels. A stark warning has been issued by NYK's Takaya Soga, a leading expert in Japan's transportation infrastructure, that the country's road network is severely constrained. Soga claims that safe routes are "extremely limited", forcing traffic to operate at half the levels seen before World War II. This alarming statement highlights the ongoing struggle to balance Japan's rapid growth with its aging and often inadequate infrastructure. As the country continues to grapple with the challenges of urbanization and congestion, Soga's warning serves as a stark reminder of the need for urgent investment in Japan's transportation network.
