According to this article, a member of Toyota’s IT & ITS planning division proposed that Japan build 250,000 km of bike lanes across Japan in the next 5 years. This idea spawns from the fact that the number of accidents has gone up, and the way to reduce accidents is to build separate bike lanes for cyclists. What a thought! We think it’s great that a car company is promoting bike lanes and understanding the idea that it isn’t necessarily car vs. bicycle – it’s how can they coexist in the most positive way possible for everyone.
