Traffic sign - moped sign [ Japan driving ]

This is the 10th time about traffic sings and marking on the road.

This time is for moped signs.
There are many mopeds, less than Asian countries, in the urban area.
This knowledge is useful for your safety driving.

[ Two step turn (right turn) for mopeds ]Better

Moped should turn 2 steps (go straight and stop in left side, go ahead after changing direction along the signal). You can see sometimes on the road have over 4 drive lanes.
 *for only mopeds =less than 50 cc (Engine capacity)
 *exclusive other motorcycles ( more than 51 cc )

Some mopeds and scooter rider is Rough riding.
In regulation, they should ride the left side of the lane, but some riders ride the right side or the middle. 
Some riders ride the narrow left side between the edge of road and the left side of vehicles for overtaking the vehicles, so special take care must be taken.In addition, elder riders sometimes have shaky riding, you should take care you driving. My opinion is to keep away from them.

Two step turn


[ No two step turn (right turn) for mopeds ]Better

Prohibit to two step turn. This sign is opposite to above sign.
No two step turn
