Bicycles are vehicles, just like cars and motorbikes.

Please follow the traffic rules, and cycle safely and comfortably.

When riding a bicycle, abide by the following 5 traffic rules for safe cycling.

1) The basic rule for bicycles is that they must be used on the road. Cycling on the pavement is the exception, not the rule.

2) You should cycle on the left hand side of the road. 

3) On the pavement, pedestrians have right of way. Cycle on the side nearest the road. 

4) Cycling under the influence of alcohol, riding double, and riding side-by-side are prohibited. 

When cycling at night, please use lights. 

Comply with the traffic lights at intersections and check for safety.

5) Make sure that children wear helmets.

The subsection in charge at Minato City Hall is the Traffic Affairs Subsection of the Community Transportation Section.
