About the step elimination plate
Updated: February 10, 2023
Please do not install step elimination plates, etc. on the road.
In order to eliminate the difference in level with the road at the part where cars drive in, it can be seen that "drive-in blocks", "steel plates", "car steps", etc. are installed on the road.
Installing such a property on the road hinders the flow of rainwater and causes road flooding. In addition, please do not install it as it may lead to a fall accident of infants, the elderly, pedestrians with physical disabilities, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. It is very dangerous.
These actions are prohibited as they violate Article 43 of the Road Act, and if an accident occurs, the installer may be held liable for damages.
(Note)
Article 43 of the Road Act: No person shall engage in any of the acts listed on the left regarding roads.
(1) Unnecessarily damaging or defacing roads.
(d ) Unnecessarily piling up objects such as rocks, bamboo, and trees on the road, or engaging in other acts that may impede the structure of the road or traffic .
In addition, if you want to eliminate unevenness, you can carry out the undercutting work of L-shaped grooves and sidewalks at your own expense by applying for " road construction work at your own expense" based on Article 24 of the Road Law. Please contact Inagi City Hall Urban Construction Department Management Section for the range and structure of the undercut (contact information is listed below).
We ask for your understanding and cooperation so that everyone can use the road safely and comfortably.
