Japan’s new cycling rules, effective October 20, have some serious changes, especially if you are glued to your phone while riding. Now, riders caught using mobile devices could face fines of up to ¥100,000. The goal? Cut down on accidents and keep busy streets safer.
But that’s not all—the law also targets cyclists who run traffic lights or bike under the influence. With cycling on the rise, the government wants riders to stay alert and follow the rules, keeping everyone safe on the road.
So next time you’re cruising to school or meeting friends, remember to keep your phone tucked away and stay focused on the road. Riding responsibly means everyone can enjoy safer streets!
