Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for 361 students of Koga Municipal Kogahigashi Junior High School (Fukuoka Prefecture) on April 18.
At the request of Kogahigashi Junior High School, we conducted a seminar to foster a deeper understanding of necessary traffic rules and manners since many students commute by bicycle. The students had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and dangers of trucks and safe behavior at intersections and pedestrian crossings. They commented on how this course helped them raise awareness for traffic safety, saying, "Not to think traffic accidents are somebody else’s but could happen to me at any time, so I will properly follow the traffic rules and manners for bicycles.” To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children, we will continue to promote traffic safety awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.
Komaru Koutsu Foundation was established on September 9, 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.
