Kyoto Bike Sign

京都交通標識

Note: All future blogs can be found here.

The sign pictured at right tells the viewer that both bicycles and pedestrians are allowed on this block.

Below the round blue image, the sign reads: 自転車通行可 (jitensha tsuko ka).

 That means that bikes are permitted to pass (ride) here. The street is a short stretch along Kawaramachi north of Imadegawa that is full of shops. Shop owners and locals seemed mostly oblivious to the college students careening down the sidewalk, earphones inserted, cell phone in hand.
