Japan's parliament has passed a bill to revise the Road Traffic Law, introducing a 'blue ticket' fine system for cyclists aged 16 and older. The law covers 113 minor violations such as ignoring traffic signals, failing to stop at a stop sign, and riding on the sidewalk, allowing for fines without criminal charges. The new system aims to address the rise in cycling-related accidents and reduce the burden on police and offenders during investigations.
