A “bicycle pictogram” has been painted on the roadway along the City Hall Front Line.
（This information was provided by Kurenaigai and Jiyujin. Thank you!）
This article is brought to you by “ALBOBBY,” a salon that supports Nishitsu.
It’s around here on the map↓
It’s on a roughly 650m stretch between the JR Kobe Line and UNIQLO.
Like bicycle road signs, it was installed as part of the “Nishinomiya City Bicycle Use Environment Improvement Plan” to improve conditions for bicycle use.
Comparing It with Other Cities
Amagasaki City
It simply says “Bicycles Only.”
Kobe City
There are arrows above and below the “Bicycles Only” text.
Takarazuka City
It’s almost the same as Kobe City, but there were also poles with messages like “Do not ride against traffic” and “Bicycles should use the bicycle lane.”
Finally
A reader sent us a tip asking, “Isn’t it dangerous since it’s so narrow?” We actually rode along it, and it isn’t exactly wide. There are also parked cars along the road, so please ride safely without going too fast.
Kurenaigai and Jiyujin, thank you for the information!!
