Let's follow the rules

Last Updated October 25, 2018

-Wheelchairs cannot pass through products on the street or signboards~

It is often seen that "up flags", "place signs", "products", etc. are placed in front of stores such as shopping streets, but placing these properties on the road is illegal under the Road Law. It is considered and prohibited.
These actions are a serious obstacle to pedestrians and wheelchair users, as well as violating the Road Law. In addition, flags, etc., can significantly impair traffic visibility and cause serious accidents.
It also spoils the aesthetics of the city.
In the event of an accident caused by these, the responsibility of the abandoned person may be held, so please correct it immediately.

Don't put anything on the Braille block.
-Abandoned bicycles, products cover Braille blocks~

You can see abandoned bicycles and products left on Braille blocks everywhere on the street corner, but these actions not only deprive the freedom of movement of the visually impaired, but also may collide and cause injury. Stop immediately.

Let's do devaluation work without putting a block at the entrance of the car

It's dangerous! Let's stop "enter block"

We often see "enter blocks" and "iron plates" on the road in front of garages and entrances to parking lots, but these actions are prohibited because they are dangerous.
These actions violate the Road Law and can cause the elderly, infants, and pedestrians with physical disabilities to trip or slip, causing injuries, leading to falling motorcycles and bicycles. . In the event of such an accident, the responsibility of the person who puts the "enter block" or "iron plate" may be held.
In addition, on rainy days, the flow of rainwater stops, impairing the living environment, and impairing the aesthetics of the city.
In order to ensure that everyone can pass safely, remove the "boarding blocks" and use the "sidewalk and curb devaluation work" (road self-financing work).

Let's use the road by "cut down sidewalks and curbs"

The sidewalk is high so that pedestrians can pass safely and that rainwater on the road does not enter the residential land.
If you need to lower the steps at the entrance of your garage or parking lot, you can cut down the sidewalks and curbs with the approval of Mr. Public Works Office. (Construction costs will be borne by yourself.)
Public Works Office provides guidance based on certain criteria to ensure that the traffic of wheelchair users is not hindered.

Please refer to road self-financing construction for "Devaluation work".

Hedges that are often found in residential areas have made a great contribution to the cityscape and aesthetics.
From now on, it is a request of the times to encourage and promote hedges.
However, there are many situations where hedge branches protrude on the road and obstruct pedestrians and cars, but these actions are prohibited because they are dangerous.
These actions are extremely dangerous, not only because they violate the Road Law, but also hinder pedestrian traffic and hinder car driving. . It can also lead to traffic accidents. In the event of such an accident, in the worst case, the hedge owner's own responsibility may be held.
In order to prevent this from happening, when setting up hedges, we ask that you plant them with plenty of time in anticipation of the growth of the trees in advance, and that pruning the branches be carried out systematically.
