Frequently Asked Questions (Transportation)

QuestionLarge trucks and other vehicles pass through the roads designated as school routes. It is dangerous, so I would like traffic regulations to be enforced.

Response

City Hall cannot impose traffic regulations based on the Road Traffic Act, such as restricting vehicle passage.

To impose such traffic regulations, it is necessary to obtain approval from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Safety Commission, and in Inagi City, the Tama Central Police Station serves as the point of contact.
According to the Tama Central Police Station, generally, it is understood that the consent of local residents is required to impose traffic regulations that prohibit vehicle passage.

In this case, since it is related to the school route, it is considered necessary for schools, PTAs, and Neighborhood Associations to take the lead in gathering opinions.
For more details, please contact the Tama Central Police Station.
