These ladies look so old school??

So for a week, while cars at a major intersection 100 metres away run red lights, left hook cyclists and fail to clear the intersection with their usual vigor, about a dozen officers'll stand at quiet, out of the way crossroads, and politely ask drivers to follow traffic regulations.

It would help if they built pavements/sidewalks.

I'm still waiting for them to enforce the no tailgaiting rule.

Try braking.

Smart to leverage Momoiro Clover Z “popularity”, so many teeth, more than their fair share, senior family members would countenance.

However could this campaign/approach not be a tad superficial?

Surely the fees Momoiro Clover Z management agency demanded could have been focused/redirected to areas, roads, highways within communities that suffer from a high degree of accidents.

Surely the could have got the Miniskirt Police to do this poster and also do an accompanying tune.

There are some that would consider Kanako Momota dimples to be considered unnatural, Anakin....

Which in all honesty, comes some way to explain the Poster, InspectorGadget

I thought it was a new idol group in the police theme.

Indeed, it is a idol group, but not a new one.

Momoiro Clover Z……..Yes?

Idols, traffic safety, and stop signs

I will not be driving until this is over - You can and WILL get ticketed for the most minor infractions. Not worth losing your Gold Licence over and the insurance savings it brings. Police out in full force this morning on my way (in a taxi) to work.

Watch out for hidden cops near stop signs too, where you must come to a complete stop

That's how I was done by Chiba's finest. Was it the out-of-prefecture plates?

I give up. There are so many things wrong with this poster.

Eh, I'm curious which ones you see are wrong.

During the week, do not break the speed limit on a sunny day on any road with a big lay-by where police can do paperwork. If an oncoming car or truck flashes you with high beams, it means there is a speed trap ahead.

Watch out for hidden cops near stop signs too, where you must come to a complete stop. But feel free to go through the first seconds of a red light as normal. Don't bother stopping at zebra crossings either. Those things are not policed.

Expect gangs of cops cracking down on low-hanging-fruit minor infractions.
