Out on Sunday errands, we rode up behind a Kyoto bus on Imadegawa Dori on its way to Ginkakuji Temple (the Silver Pavilion).
A small depiction of a woman cycling caught our eye as we waited in a warm bath of bus exhaust for the large vehicle to go.
自転車も車両です。
Bicycles are vehicles too.
交通ルールを守ろう
Let's follow traffic rules.
Fair enough, bicycles are vehicles and those riding them should indeed follow traffic law.
To which we add, ad nauseam, how about creating separate lanes for:
1. cars and buses and taxis
2. pedestrians
3. bicycles
Improving on the city's transportation infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists would reduce injuries and fatalities and make Kyoto a more pleasant place to live - and move around - in.
