The plan is to crack down on vehicles that violate the duty to stop before making a right turn when the vehicle signal light ahead of the intersection is red, and to promote education, public relations, and improvements to facilities in areas at risk of accidents.
In addition, after a one-year education and public relations period, we have determined that a considerable number of drivers are aware of their duty to stop, and from this year onwards we will be enforcing camcorder controls, focusing on accident-prone areas and dangerous zones.
