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 all 39 students at Sefuri Elementary School in Kanzaki City, Saga Prefecture on April 26, in cooperation with the Saga Prefectural Police Headquarters and Kanzaki City.
At the request of the Saga Prefectural Police Headquarters, which aims to prevent traffic accidents by helping children understand the traffic rules and manners they should follow when riding bicycles, the class implemented a hands-on learning experience using drive recorder videos and a bicycle simulator to predict danger. The children commented, "when I ride my bicycle, I will always stop and check at an intersection”.
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.
