About "Zone 30"

Zone 30 regulates the maximum speed within the zone to 30 km/h and combines safety measures to limit the speed of vehicles in residential areas surrounded by highways, etc. It is a traffic safety measure for the purpose of protecting safety. Cars should refrain from passing through the area, observe the speed limit of 30 km/h and drive safely.

In the case of a collision between a pedestrian and a vehicle, the fatality rate rises sharply when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h. In addition, since there are many accidents involving pedestrians and bicycles on community roads, we will limit the speed to 30 km/h to reduce the occurrence of accidents.

At the entrance to Zone 30, a speed limit sign and a symbol mark signboard will be installed and the road surface will be marked to indicate the start of the regulation to drivers.

In the city, the Hyakumura district, the Hyakumura, Higashi Naganuma, Daimaru, and Koyodai districts were designated as Zone 30, but on February 15, 2022, the Yanoguchi district was newly designated and designated as Zone 30 within the city. There are 3 districts.
