生活道路の法定速度が時速６０キロ→３０キロ引き下げ 熊本市で法改正チラシ配布安全運転呼びかけ (26/09/02 11:50)

The legal speed limit for cars on residential streets was lowered to 30 km/h from the 1st, and police officers in Kumamoto City distributed leaflets to drivers to urge safe driving. Residential streets are relatively narrow roads without a center line or median, often found in residential areas. The legal speed limit was previously 60 km/h, with some exceptions, but was lowered to 30 km/h from the 1st. (Roads with designated speed limits indicated by road signs remain unchanged.) On the 1st, police officers from the Kumamoto Kita-Koshi Police Station watched over children on their way home from school while distributing leaflets about the legal change to passing drivers and urging safe driving. [Kenji Sugimoto, Head of Traffic Division 1, Kumamoto Kita-Koshi Police Station] "Let's all work together to create a safe and secure traffic environment where all road users can travel with peace of mind, by ensuring the safety of pedestrians and cyclists through the roads."
