Bicycle Symbol Osaka Street

Bike Symbol Osaka大阪自転車車いす通路

On a pedestrian overpass near Osaka Station, we found this odd marker on the tiled pavement.

The marker was on the part of the overpass that stretches from the Hankyu Department Store's second floor to the Station, and then beyond to the opposite side of the wide street in front of the south exit of the Station.

We are not sure how a wheelchair would or could make use of the overpass: it has no elevators or escalators.

Bicycles would also be tricky. Crossing the overpass would entail carrying a bike up a long flight of stairs, pushing it across to the opposite side, and then carrying it back down.
