The Tokyo Metropolitan Government enacts an ordinance requiring bicycle users in Tokyo to take out damages insurance for personal injury from April and will be enforced from April. However, since Meguro City has many narrow roads, property damage accidents We have compiled a new ordinance requiring mandatory insurance.
According to the data compiled by the departments that manage the roads in each of the 23 wards of Tokyo, 70% of the public roads in Meguro Ward are managed by the ward, and the average road width is 4m 81cm, which is within the special ward. Then it is the second narrowest after Nakano Ward, 4 meters and 55 cm.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will enforce the ordinance that requires bicycle users in Tokyo to join liability insurance for personal injury from April and will be enforced from April. We have been considering countermeasures as we need to be prepared in case damages are required.

Meguro City will propose the ordinance plan to the ward assembly next month, and if it is approved, it will go through a well-known period and aim for enforcement in October.
