What is praised related to this accident is that Yokohama city began to examine safety of its own tunnels immediately after the accident.
Though the city examines the tunnels once per five years constantly, the city decided to carry out the urgent inspection to ensure the best safety for citizens.

Every time a traffic accident happens, it is important for traffic operators to check safety again and to improve their systems.
