　In November 2000, the Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement Using Public Transportation for Elderly and Physically Disabled Persons (commonly known as the Traffic Barrier-Free Law) came into effect.
　In response to this, Yokohama City is developing basic concepts in areas around major stations in central Tokyo and Fukutoshin. Therefore, in August 2006, we formulated the “Shin-Yokohama Station Area Traffic Barrier-Free Basic Concept” for the area around Shin-Yokohama Station, which is positioned as the “Shin-Yokohama City Center”.
　To realize this basic concept, Road and Highway Bureau has formulated a Road Specific Business Plan, which defines the content of the project and the planned implementation period. In the future, we will implement road projects based on this plan.

　The Traffic Barrier-Free Law aims to reduce the burden on the physical burden associated with transportation using public transportation such as the elderly and the physically handicapped, and to improve the convenience and safety of transportation. We promote barrier-free by two major pillars of "barrier-free" and "barrier-free priority maintenance district".
　In order to promote one of the pillars, "barrier-free priority maintenance districts", each district consisting of citizens such as academics, elderly people, persons with disabilities, related businesses and administrative organizations. After repeated examinations in the subcommittee, the "Traffic Barrier-Free Basic Concept" was formulated.
　Based on the "Road Specific Business Plan" formulated in line with this basic design, we will carry out the business by 2010.

　"Specific routes" and "Semi-specific route" are defined in the "Yokohama Station Area Traffic Barrier-Free Basic Concept" formulated in August 2006.

　The priority maintenance area is a district where major facilities such as public facilities and welfare facilities are located within a range of approximately 500m (walking area) centered on passenger facilities such as railway stations where there are considerable numbers of users. This is an area where barrier-free will be implemented in an integrated manner.

　The priority maintenance area around Shin-Yokohama Station is the area centered on JR and Municipal Subway Shin-Yokohama Station. On the northwest side of the station, Nissan Stadium and welfare and medical facilities (Yokohama City Rehabilitation Center, Sports Center for the Disabled, Yokohama Rapport, Yokohama Rapport, Yokohama City General Health and Medical Center, Yokohama Rosai Hospital) On the northeast side of the station, Yokohama Arena, Yokohama Kohoku Region Joint Government building, Shinyokohama area activity platform are located, and the area including these is set as area of important maintenance district in area around Shin-Yokohama Station.

　There are two types of barrier-free routes: specific routes and semi-specific routes.

• As a general rule, a specific route is a route that carries out maintenance along the standards based on the Traffic Barrier-Free Law by 2010 or at this stage, maintenance based on the Yokohama City Welfare Town Development Ordinance is maintained, It is a route that does not particularly hinder smooth movement of people with disabilities.
• A semi-specific route is a route that works on maintenance for barrier-free issues identified in the examination of the basic concept, etc., in the future, taking into account the opportunities for repair.

　The Traffic Barrier-Free Law aims to reduce the burden on the physical burden associated with transportation using public transportation such as the elderly and the physically handicapped, and to improve the convenience and safety of transportation. We promote barrier-free by two major pillars of "barrier-free" and "barrier-free priority maintenance district".
　"Road specific business plan" means "section of road" where road manager carries out road identification business in line with basic design in important point maintenance district established in basic design, road which should be carried out every section We establish "contents and planned conduct period" of specific business and "important matter to be considered" when carrying out other road specific business.

　About "specific route" and "part of semi-specific route", maintenance will be carried out by 2010.

　In order to achieve barrier-free priority and integrated manner by 2010, we will implement maintenance for barrier-free through partial renovation, etc., taking into account regional characteristics and surrounding roadside conditions.
　In addition, in order to carry out effective maintenance, we plan cooperation and coordination with other businesses, and determine the maintenance level in consideration of the continuity of walking space.

　We carry out maintenance based on "road movement facilitation maintenance guidelines" and "Yokohama road barrier-free maintenance guidelines" (Yokohama-shi)".
　The main maintenance standards are "the effective width of the sidewalk should be 2m or more", "paving materials should be flat, non-slip, and well drained (permeable pavement, etc.)", "The vertical slope of the sidewalk shall be 1% or less", "In principle, a flat part is provided at the connection of the pedestrian crossing", and "a sidewalk connecting to the pedestrian crossing is 2.

　We show plan as follows about route to carry out business to plan barrier-free mainly integrally and integrally. In addition, in order to make the plan more effective, the plan may be reviewed due to coordination with other companies or budgets.

　In the area around Shin-Yokohama Station, the following 12 routes to carry out road identification projects.

　Cooperation of citizens, including roadsides, is indispensable in order for the target route that aims to be barrier-free through the "Road Specific Business" effectively.
　About contents to work on as road manager, we show as follows.

• Utilizing city public relations magazines and websites, etc., we provide information on the business implementation status and initiatives for barrier-free.
• Regarding illegal private properties and illegal bicycle parking, etc. that narrow the effective width of roads that hinder movement, cooperation of roadside people and manners such as bicycle users are important, and guidance, removal, and promotion of bicycle parking lot use in the future. Calls.
• As abandoned bicycle measures, we devise "measure business guidelines such as Yokohama-shi bicycles" which showed role allotment such as administration, citizen or railroad company and promote.

　Road maintenance to be promoted based on the "Traffic Barrier-Free Law" will be focused and integrated by 2010, so that each person can understand each other and all people can move safely and comfortably We aim to form a space network, so we ask for your cooperation.
