Cycling Sidewalks New Regulations Japan

Cycling sidewalk in Kyoto3メートル未満の歩道自転車通行ダメ

The police are at it.

And none too soon.

Cycling on sidewalks in Japan - widely accepted and practiced - now comes with a caveat. The sidewalk must be at least three meters wide. If not, cycling is not permitted.

Ticketing is being threatened for the first time.

The police are also calling for an increase and improvement in the infrastructure for cycling.

Bravo.

Boy, does that mean when I come this December and January that I'll have to carry a tape measure with me to be on the safe side ?
