The opinion survey was also conducted to participants to get the data of choice of measures for evacuation. Consideration based on the survey of this drill revealed important outcomes as follows. (1) The evacuation routes should be chosen more than one per one residential district from the roads including low capacity road to ease traffic congestion and to secure substitute route. (2) Taking into account traffic control and guiding at the intersections on the evacuation routes by policemen and staffs is very important to make the vehicles of evacuees running smoothly. (3) Considering of the capacity and the gate size of the parking of reception center is very important to make the stream of vehicles smooth when Reception centers are chosen. (4) Considering of the effect from experiments of participants is important for the opinion surveys to get the choice of measures of evacuation. (5) The opinion surveys about evacuation from nuclear disaster should be done in the wide area including the outside of the evacuation zone.
