Driving Advices for Japan – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
As it has been noted above, drivers should be particularly attentive when crossing a railway intersection. According to the traffic rules, the driver must stop and make sure that there is no train approaching, and only then start moving. In Japan, drivers in driving schools are also taught to open the window a little, so in case of danger they will be able to hear the noise of the approaching train.
When driving, it is not common to move from one lane to another. Moreover, drivers should not even try to cut in front of other cars. The use of sound signals is also not allowed. However, drivers should not forget to accompany their maneuvers by light signals.
If road signs, curbs and other barriers were damaged in case of a road accident, the driver who is guilty in the accident is required to pay for the damage done. For example, we can say that inattentive drivers will have to pay about US$6000 to repair the damaged traffic light.
