Should bicycles be operated on sidewalk in Japan?
Hello,
I posted an article "Bicycle tour in Japan will be impossible" last month. ) The National Police Agency opened the Road Traffic Law revision tentative plan to the public. They are gathering public comments against the tentative plan now. The last proposal contains this sentence --"When the bicycle ride is dangerous in the roadway, the bicycle traffic is prohibited there." They removed the sentence from the tentative plan. But a sentence--"Based on the proposal, a bill is submitted to revise the Road Traffic Law to the ordinary session of the Diet this year."-- is written in the tentative plan. We cyclists must not relax our guard. We are now acting to spread our opinion. An article was published on Asahi Shimbun(a major newspaper in Japan). http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-...701160101.html Japan Times also published a letter from a reader. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-b...0070116aj.html I'd like to know your opinion. Thanks in advance, -- Kaz, Japan hkaz1807[at]olive.livedoor.com |
