Abstract: Abstract From mass data of the Japanese highway traffic, we see the behavior of the traffic flow in Japan. Especially, we focus our attention on the multi-lane phenomena. For two-lane traffic, detailed time series of traffic variables are shown. Daily behavior of time series with a traffic jam event is discussed. In addition space-time plots of the jam is also considered. For three-lane traffic, we discuss a role of the middle lane. As a result, it changes according to the traffic volume.
