  • Follow the Rules! Ride Bicycles Properly!
    February 1 - March 31, 2009 http://www.city.yokohama.jp/me/naka/e/ No. 103 2009 YOKOHAMA 150th Anniversary of the Opening of the Port of Yokohama Follow the Rules! Ride BicyclesBicycles Properly! Do you use a bicycle daily? Recently, more people are riding bicycles instead of driving cars because of the costs of car usage and gasoline, out of concern over global warming, and/or for exercise to maintain their health. While bicycles are ridden easily and casually, a major new issue is the deterioration of the manners of riders – reckless and dangerous riding on sidewalks. In Kanagawa Prefecture, Naka Ward is among places notorious for the high frequency of bicycle accidents. As a result, in 2007, Naka Ward was described as a “zone” of bicycle accidents. Traffic manners need special attention. No-parking areas for bicycles and other rules are introduced here. Riders, observe traffic rules and ride safely! Have you seen these? Have you done them yourself? • Inconsiderate parking is not only dangerous, but spoils the town landscape - Bicycles parked on sidewalks interfere with pedestrians (particularly mothers pushing baby carriages). - Parking on braille blocks is dangerous for the visually impaired (braille blocks guide them as they move). - Leaving a bicycle for a long time could result in your being accused of illegal dumping. Bicycle thefts are increasing. Stolen bicycles are then often left on the streets. • To prevent thefts: - Double lock bicycles. - At the time of purchase, be sure to register the bicycle. Bicycle no-parking areas expanded - Park properly in designated areas. Last autumn, bicycle no-parking areas around Sakuragicho Station, Hinodecho Station and the Motomachi-Chukagai Station were expanded.
