In response to the request from the police station, which aims to prevent traffic accidents by raising traffic safety awareness since the high number of traffic accidents in Fukuoka Prefecture during the year-end and New Year holidays. Approx. 40 participants had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and dangers of trucks about safe behavior at intersections and pedestrian crossings. They commented on how the experience strengthened their awareness of traffic safety, saying, "There are many blind spots from the driver’s seat, so I will pay extra attention when passing through intersections.” To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents, we will continue to promote traffic safety awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.
Komaru Koutsu Foundation was established on September 9th, 2013, to promote traffic safety awareness, hosting various traffic safety lectures in elementary schools across Japan and carrying out educational activities to prevent traffic accidents. Furthermore, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students overseas studying Japanese to present the results of their studies and organizing Japanese composition speech contests to raise traffic safety awareness and promote cultural exchange with Japan.
