About the Traffic Safety Class

A traffic safety class for 63 students of 1st and 2nd graders at Jonan Elementary School in Kumamoto City (Kumamoto Prefecture) held on May 25th.



May 26th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for 63 students of 1st and 2nd graders at Jonan Elementary School in Kumamoto City (Kumamoto Prefecture) on May 25th.

Jonan Elementary School is located near an industrial park and a main road with heavy truck traffic. In response to a request from the school, which wanted to prevent traffic accidents with large vehicles, the students learned about preventing traffic accidents at intersections and crosswalks by experiencing the characteristics and dangers of trucks firsthand. The children commented, "There were many things I couldn't see from the driver's seat of the truck, so I will try not to play around them.

We will continue our efforts to raise traffic safety awareness in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents involving children to the minimum possible.

Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded 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. Overseas, it holds Japanese composition speech contests to provide opportunities for students to present the results of their Japanese language studies and to promote cultural exchange with Japan and also raise awareness of traffic safety that is relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we support.
