It impedes the passage of emergency vehicles and the evacuation of people in the event of a disaster. They even obstruct normal vehicular traffic and cause traffic congestion.
They disrupt the appearance of the city and affect public safety, such as bicycle theft.
● Prohibited areas* for bicycle parking
Example of "Prohibited Area" sign
All streets around stations across Matsudo City, where signs (please see image), triangular cones, and bicycle parking lot guides are in place. These areas are indicated in brown on this map.
● Bicycles secured with chain locks, etc.
The lock will be cut and the bicycle removed. No replacement or compensasion will be made for damaged parts.
● How to check if your bicycle has been removed
