Kanagawa Prefecture is urging drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to sharpen their awareness during the 2026 Spring National Traffic Safety Campaign, running April 6 through 15. The 10-day campaign, coordinated by the Kanagawa Prefecture Traffic Safety Measures Council, carries the slogan “Protect new school children and kindergarteners from traffic accidents” – a timely reminder as the Japanese school year begins and young children navigate unfamiliar routes for the first time.
