【9月1日から】法定速度が60→30km/hに？元白バイ隊員が道路交通法改正を徹底解説

From September 1, 2026, the legal speed limit for vehicles on residential roads will change significantly. On residential roads that previously had a legal speed limit of 60 km/h, the legal speed limit will be lowered to 30 km/h, especially those without a center line or designated traffic lanes. However, there are many unclear aspects to this change, such as: "Will all general roads become 30 km/h?" "What types of roads are affected?" "What about roads with 40 km/h signs?" "Will police speed enforcement increase?" In this video, former motorcycle police officer Yakubo will explain the legal speed limit changes effective September 1, 2026, using actual road examples for clarity. 【Contents of this video】 ・What will change from September 1st? ・Roads where the legal speed limit will change from 60 km/h to 30 km/h ・Roads where the limit remains 60 km/h ・What happens if there are speed limit signs? Points to note when driving on residential streets Speed ​​enforcement from the perspective of a former motorcycle police officer This revision does not mean that all general roads will have a 30 km/h speed limit. General roads with center lines or designated lanes will remain at a legal speed limit of 60 km/h. Also, if a maximum speed is specified by road signs, etc., that specified speed must be followed.

Served as a police officer for 12 years, 8 of which were spent as a motorcycle police officer in the traffic police unit, fulfilling a childhood dream. Handled approximately 6,000 traffic violations to date, and achieved the highest number of arrests in a single year by department for running red lights and seatbelt violations. While engaged in traffic violation enforcement, I realized the importance of safe driving education, not just enforcement, after witnessing fatal accidents in my jurisdiction, and subsequently retired from the police force. Currently, I run the Fresta Safe Driving School, providing on-site training for inexperienced drivers and traffic accident prevention and safe driving training for companies. In my private life, I'm a father of three. I love cats, but I'm allergic to them (lol). #RoadTrafficLaw #RoadTrafficLawAmendment #LegalSpeedLimit #ResidentialRoads #30km #TrafficRules #SafeDriving #FormerMotorcyclePoliceOfficer #InexperiencedDriver #FrestaSafeDrivingSchool *The roads subject to the law amendment are based on the National Police Agency's guidance.
