Ahead of the start of the summer Prefectural Traffic Safety Campaign, a ceremony was held at Isesaki Police Station to dispatch patrol cars and police motorcycles for traffic enforcement.
About 50 people attended the ceremony, and Isesaki Police Station Chief Arai spoke about strengthening enforcement and ensuring pedestrian priority in light of the frequent occurrence of traffic fatalities.
The patrol cars and police motorcycles then set off on their enforcement missions.
There were 4,404 personal injury accidents in the first half of this year, a decrease from last year, but the number of fatalities was only one less than last year, at 24.
The traffic safety campaign will continue until the 20th of this month.
