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 a traffic safety class for 38 third graders of Okayama Prefectural Okayama Seto Special Support High School on November 28th.
Due to the school's proximity to an arterial road with heavy traffic, we conducted an experiential learning program to prevent traffic accidents and raise safety awareness. During the seminar, students learned how to anticipate potential traffic hazards using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator. They also learned the characteristics and possible dangers of trucks, safe conduct at intersections, and pedestrian crossings. As a result, students became more aware of safety measures and expressed their commitment to following traffic rules and etiquette for a safer school experience.
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.
