A photo of a city road. Besides the sign mentioned in the caption, this photo includes many features to ensure safe traffic. The red stripes to prevent speeding, reflectors to alert of curves at night, guardrails to protect pedestrians on sidewalks, and pedestrian bridges for safe crossing. Even in ordinary roads, there are many measures to prevent accidents.

A photo of a security guard protecting a pedestrianized festival venue during the Tanabata Festival. Behind the fun festivities, the presence of people like them is indispensable for ensuring safety. They manage traffic and monitor to maintain order, ensuring the festival's safe completion. A great photo focusing on the unsung heroes.

A seemingly ordinary photo of tactile paving. Tactile paving is a barrier-free facility for the visually impaired. Although it might appear in photos, one might not have specifically taken photos of tactile paving before. Upon reflection, it's impressive that tactile paving is installed on sidewalks all over Japan.

In Conclusion

What do you think?
The road scenes we take for granted are filled with many safety measures hidden in the photos you casually take. Our safe travel is protected in ways we might not notice.
