Osaka Prefectural Road Route 2, Principal local road in Osaka Prefecture, Japan
Description
Osaka Prefectural Road Route 2 extends across thirteen municipalities, running from Sakai in the south to Ikeda in the north of Osaka Prefecture. The route passes through residential areas, commercial districts, and neighborhoods with shopping centers that serve the local population.
History
The route was established in 1984 as a main transportation link across Osaka Prefecture. It has since supported the expansion and connection of multiple cities throughout the region.
Culture
The road passes through Sakai, where traditional knife craftsmanship remains an active practice, and connects neighborhoods with local markets and workshops that reflect daily commercial life.
Practical
The route intersects with the Meishin Expressway and Kinki Expressway, providing connections to major transportation networks across the Kansai region. Travelers can use this road to reach multiple municipalities and local neighborhoods efficiently.
Did you know?
The road maintains its Route 2 designation while partially sharing the same path as Japan National Route 26, creating a dual highway corridor. This overlap allows travelers to follow two distinct route numbers on certain sections of the same road.
