Guidance sign - National/ Prefecture road/ Road name [ Japan driving ]

This is 5th times about the Guidance signs.

I will inform about Route No. guidance signs.
You can see everywhere their signs for public road.
These signs have many variation because Japan have a lot of chopped routes.
Please take care when you drive a public road

[ National road ] Good

You can see everywhere when you drive a public road.This road is maintained by the governance of Japan. Basically, their roads have multi lane ( 2- 6 lanes) and smooth surface. They are a main road for all vehicles.
However, they have heavy traffic, so they have often a big congestion.
I suggest you to check the traffic congestion.
=> JATIC  ( unfortunately, Japanese only)
  *Existing the some smart phone app, but maybe support Japanese only
 

[ Prefecture road ] Good

You can see everywhere when you drive a public road.This road is maintained by the each prefecture. There are a lot of version for indication.
So, I think it is not necessary to keep in your mind.


 *県道 = Prefecture road
 *神奈川 =Kanagawa -Prefecture name

[ Road name ] Good

You can see somewhere when you drive a public road.
Some road have a name in addition the Number. Since some Japanese sometimes talk the road by the road name, so it is easy to understand if you know them. However, there are a lot of road name. I think it is not necessary to keep in you mind.

 *青山 = Aoyama - Name
 *通り = Street
 *渋谷 = Shibuya - Name
 *線 = Line of road
