 Roads are for everyone. Unfortunately, the streets around train stations are always cluttered with illegally
parked bicycles.
Although Shinagawa City conducts such programs as building bicycle parking lots that charge fees and
placing warnings on and/or removing illegally parked bicycles, there is a limit as to what the city can
do. We cannot solve the problem of illegally parked bicycles without the cooperation of each and every
individual doing his/her part by not leaving bicycles and motorcycles on the street. We would appreciate
everyone’s help in this matter.

◆ The Streets Are Not Bicycle Parking Lots
There are illegally parked bicycles and motorcycles blocking the streets and obstructing traffic near train
stations, in shopping districts, and various other locations in the city. Illegally parked bicycles and
motorcycles not only create dangerous obstacles for such people as the elderly, the physically disabled, and
small children but also may interfere with ambulances and fire brigades in times of emergency.
◆ Let’s Walk for Health
To maintain safe and scenic streets that are free of
illegally parked bicycles and motorcycles and to keep
ourselves healthy, let’s walk instead of riding bicycles or
motorcycles. By traveling on foot, we can appreciate our
town even more. Everyone’s cooperation in this matter
would be greatly appreciated.
◆ Parking Bicycles and Motorcycles Near
Train Stations Is Prohibited
Zones in which bicycles and motorcycles are not
allowed to park are designated by city ordinance in
23 areas near train stations where bicycle parking
lots are located. If bicycles are left in locations other
than bicycle parking lots within these zones, they are
considered illegally parked and are subject to removal.
Even if bicycles are left in an area that is not designated
as a no-parking zone, they will be subject to removal
if they obstruct traffic or are left in the same spot for a
long period of time. |
