2018 “Year-end Civil Traffic Safety Movement”

2018年「年末の交通安全県民運動」を実施します

2018/11/26 Monday Security

The end of the year is a season with a tendency to increase the number of accidents due to the fact that the day ends earlier, aside from the changes in the flow and the intensity of the traffic.

Also, one cannot forget the increased chances of finding someone drunk driving after year-end parties (bonenkai). This is a very propitious time for drunken driving accidents.

In order to raise awareness about traffic safety, protect rules and prevent accidents, the “Civil Movement of Traffic Safety at the End of the Year” will be held.

Period: December 1, 2018 (Saturday) to December 10 (Monday) for 10 days

 Issues to be addressed

 Prevention of traffic accidents by older people and children

  • Let’s strive to prevent accidents by being mindful when driving if you see elderly people and children.
  • Let’s turn on the car, motorcycle and bicycle lights earlier.
  • Pedestrians and bicycle users should wear reflective materials.
  1. Correct wearing of seat belts and child seat
  1. Protection and preference of pedestrians
  • When there are pedestrians crossing the pedestrian lane, the cars must stop before the lane.
  1. Eradicate Drunk Driving
  • The alcohol consumption is prohibited until the age of 20. Driving drunk is an act that will be severely punished. You should not drive cars, motorcycles and bicycles after drinking alcohol, even if it is in small quantities.
    * In Japan, drinking is from 20 years old.
    * On December 1st, it is the day of promotion campaign for “Mie-ken Inshu Unten 0 (Zero)or the Mie Prefecture Zero Drunk Driving

Even after the end of the Year-end Civil Traffic Safety Movement, please continue to collaborate to prevent traffic accidents!
