Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held the traffic safety class for 57 students of Tsuwano Municipal Nichihara Junior High School in Shimane Prefecture on October 24th, jointly with Shimane Prefectural Tsuwano Police Station.
As most students commute by bicycle, we conducted an experiential learning program to prevent traffic accidents and raise safety awareness while riding bicycles. During the seminar, students had the opportunity to learn about crucial traffic regulations and proper bike etiquette through practical experience. They also learned the characteristics and potential hazards of trucks, safe conduct at intersections, and pedestrian crossings. This experience helped them become more aware of safety and emphasized the importance of being mindful of trucks' blind spots while riding bicycles.
We are committed to continuing our efforts to prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children by engaging in traffic safety education and raising awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.
The Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013, to promote traffic safety and prevent accidents. The foundation conducts various traffic safety lectures in schools throughout Japan and engages in educational activities to promote road safety. Additionally, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students studying Japanese overseas to present the results of their studies. They also organize Japanese composition speech contests to raise traffic safety awareness and encourage cultural exchange with Japan.
