The 10th of every month is "Traffic Safety Day （ Action 10 ）".
Under the slogan of "Yuzuru Mutual Heart to Heart Running on Chiba's Road," let each of us deepen our interest in traffic safety.

[January is Zebra ・ Stop Activity Month ！ ]
If there is a pedestrian （ about to cross a pedestrian crossing ） you must stop before the pedestrian crossing and do not block his/her way. You must not obstruct the pedestrian's passage.
Be sure to drive correctly with the "Zebra ・ Stop".
Pedestrians should also obey traffic laws and regulations, and should not jump out into the street or engage in other dangerous behavior.

Pedestrians should use crosswalks and pedestrian bridges when crossing the street.
If there is no pedestrian crossing or pedestrian bridge near the road you wish to cross, check carefully that there are no cars in front of or behind you and cross with caution.
Also, do not cross on busy roads or roads where crossing is prohibited by road signs.
Bicycle users should get off their bicycles to cross when using a pedestrian crossing.
