Chiba, Japan – September 4, 2025, 2:00 PM JST – The Chiba Prefectural Government today announced the forthcoming implementation of the “Autumn National Traffic Safety Campaign 2025” (令和7年秋の全国交通安全運動), a comprehensive initiative aimed at enhancing road safety and reducing traffic accidents across the prefecture. The campaign is scheduled to commence on September 11, 2025, and will run until September 20, 2025, with a specific focus on crucial safety themes for the autumn season.
This annual campaign, coordinated nationwide, serves as a vital platform to raise public awareness about traffic safety and encourage responsible behavior among all road users. Chiba Prefecture is committed to actively participating in this important endeavor to foster a safer environment for its residents and visitors.
The “Autumn National Traffic Safety Campaign 2025” will concentrate on several key areas that are particularly relevant during the autumn months:
- Pedestrian Safety: With the changing seasons and potentially altered daylight hours, particular emphasis will be placed on ensuring the safety of pedestrians, especially children and the elderly. This includes promoting visibility through reflective clothing and ensuring safe crossing practices.
- Bicycle Safety: As cycling remains a popular mode of transportation and recreation, the campaign will highlight the importance of adhering to traffic rules for cyclists, including wearing helmets and using appropriate lighting.
- Traffic Safety for Children and Young People: Educating and safeguarding the younger generation on road safety principles is a continuous priority. The campaign will likely involve targeted outreach and educational activities for schools and families.
- Safe Driving Practices: This overarching theme encompasses encouraging all drivers to remain attentive, adhere to speed limits, avoid distractions, and practice defensive driving techniques. The prefecture will likely be promoting awareness around issues such as impaired driving and fatigued driving.
- Securing and Managing Freight Vehicles: Ensuring the safe operation and proper maintenance of commercial and freight vehicles is also a critical component of overall road safety.
During the campaign period, Chiba Prefecture, in collaboration with local municipalities, police departments, and various civic organizations, will be undertaking a range of activities. These are expected to include public awareness campaigns through media outlets, educational workshops, traffic safety seminars, and increased enforcement of traffic laws. The aim is to create a visible and impactful presence that reinforces the importance of safe road practices.
The Prefectural Government urges all residents of Chiba Prefecture to actively participate in the “Autumn National Traffic Safety Campaign 2025.” By working together, fostering a culture of mutual respect and responsibility on our roads, and diligently observing traffic safety guidelines, we can all contribute to a safer and more secure environment for everyone.
