[17th meeting] Summer Traffic Accident Prevention Campaign has begun

We carry out "summer traffic accident prevention campaign" in ten days from Tuesday, July 11 to Thursday, July 20.
The slogan of Yokohama City for this year is as follows.

"Follow the traffic rules and make summer fun and safe."

On July 11, the first day, on July 11, in front of JR Tokaichiba Station, Green Traffic Safety Association, GreenMidori Ward Traffic Safety Mothers' Association, police department and Midori fire departmentKamoi called for compliance with traffic rules and improvement of traffic manners. Although it was a very hot activity, thanks to everyone who gathered, we were able to educate many people.

I think that many people go out this summer, restrictions on behavior have been relaxed and many people go out. For long-distance drives, take appropriate break times so that no accidents occur.
In addition, from this year, wearing a helmet is mandatory when using a bicycle. The mortality rate for those who did not wear a helmet seems to be about 2.1 times higher than those who did not wear it. Thank you for your cooperation in eliminating tragic accidents and protecting your important lives.

As the slogan states, we will continue to engage in educational activities so that we can have a fun and safe summer.

July, 2023

Mr. Yasuhiro Sato, Mayor of Midori
