On the 18th, in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture, an initiative was made to line up snowmen along the road and call for the prevention of traffic accidents.

This initiative was carried out in conjunction with the "Summer Traffic Safety Prefectural Movement" in Gifu Prefecture, and 13 snowmen were lined up along National Route 360, which passes through Kaai-cho, Hida City.



The snowman is about 35 centimeters high and is made by having it pile up in Kawai-cho during the winter and then provide the snow used in the snow room for storing and aging sake.



Members of the local road safety association and police officers parked their cars in a parking lot lined with snowmen and handed out leaflets calling for them to fasten their seat belts and child seats.



The Hida region on the 18th was sunny and the snowman almost melted in the morning, but the woman who got out of the car and took a picture said, "I felt cool when I saw the snowman. Try to drive safely. I want to. "



Masahiko Imamura, Chief of Transportation at the Hida Police Station, said, "I want you to look at the snowman and drive with plenty of leeway so that you don't get distracted by the heat."
