The renowned Japanese rock band, One OK Rock, is set to perform in Oita, after taking valuable lessons from past heavy traffic situations during their gigs. City authorities and organizers are putting in place effective measures to avoid a recurrence of the overwhelming traffic jams that have historically characterized concerts by the band. The event signals strong efforts to better handle crowd and traffic control across Japan during large scale entertainment events.

In Japan, music concerts, particularly for popular bands like One OK Rock, often draw large crowds, leading to major traffic congestion. To this effect, traffic management during these events has become a key issue. As a society respectful of orderly conduct and lawfulness, Japanese expect seamless coordination and planning from event organizers to prevent such inconvenience.

Similar issues persist in EU and the US where traffic jams during concerts and games are common, though solutions may vary. In the US, for instance, methods to counter this include the use of public transport, biking, and carpooling, or even staggered exiting strategies. They also tend to have more heavy-use infrastructure designed to handle mass influxes of people, especially around entertainment venues.
