Traffic Mirror

Driving Mirrors交通ミラー

On the sometimes narrow streets of Japan, mirrors help to prevent accidents and mayhem.

The mirrors were set up for automobiles, but are equally useful for cyclists.

This big, beautiful mirror is in a dense narrow area of Kyoto.

Few cars use these streets; however, the mirrors have saved us from more than one close call.

A quick peek up at the mirror - positioned on a pole on most corners - gives you a good sense of what may or  may not be heading your way.

More on safety tips.
