In a bid to enhance road safety and reduce accidents involving bicycles, Japanese authorities have announced plans to introduce penalties for cyclists who engage in “distracted” riding. The new regulations, set to take effect in November, aim to discourage behaviors such as using mobile phones or headphones while cycling.
Under the proposed rules, cyclists found to be distracted while riding could face fines or other forms of punishment. The exact penalties are still being finalized but are expected to be comparable to those imposed on pedestrians who violate traffic regulations.
The move comes in response to growing concerns about the increasing number of bicycle accidents, particularly those involving pedestrians. Authorities believe that distracted cycling is a significant contributing factor to these incidents.
By imposing penalties on distracted riders, the government hopes to promote responsible cycling practices and create a safer environment for both cyclists and pedestrians.
