Hyogo Prefectural Police Road Marking 330 Places Accidentally Installed Penalties Return, etc. September 17, 21:20
It turned out that the road markings set up by the police at more than 330 intersections in Hyogo prefecture were incorrect, such as prohibiting straight ahead even though the lane was originally allowed to go straight.
In July, the Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters also found that the road markings installed at intersections in Kakogawa City were different from the decisions made by the Public Safety Commission, and about 4,100 intersections in the prefecture were also marked. I was investigating for similar mistakes.
As a result, at 334 other intersections, there were mistakes such as prohibiting straight ahead even though the decision of the Public Safety Commission allowed straight ahead, or setting signs without receiving the decision of the Public Safety Commission. I understand.
Of these, the "Daimaru-mae intersection" in Chuo-ku, Kobe was originally "possible to go straight and turn right", but the road markings were only for right turns.
The police have issued tickets to a total of 27 people at 334 locations, so they are in the process of returning the penalties, canceling the violation points, and switching to the correct marking.
The Hyogo Prefectural Police said, "I don't know the exact reason, but in the past, there were cases where the police station installed it without applying to the Public Safety Commission. Whether the correct road markings were installed or when road construction was done. I had the opportunity to confirm it, but it was not enough. "
