A Japanese Crash
Course Guide to Bicycle Safety
Many cyclists are simply unaware that under Japan’s traffic law, bicycles along with carts, trailers, sleds, horses, and cattle are classed as light vehicles. Under the law, unless there is a designated lane light vehicles have to travel on the left-hand side of the road along with regular motor vehicles. In Nagoya many main roads have designated side strips for light vehicles and sidewalk cycle lanes are common. However, problems start to occur on small back roads when cyclists and motorists compete for road space. Please check this link... |

Shared
Space Traffic safety increases as road users' behaviour is affected by smart design of public realm, rather than by technical measures like speed bumps, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings. See also the European project that "aims to develop new policies and new methods for an integral approach of the planning of public space for which man and his surroundings are taken as the basis."
