'My Town's 7-Year-Old Traffic Safety Hazard Map' to help families familiarize themselves with local traffic conditions. This interactive tool was created in partnership with Kanazawa University, incorporating data from 34,072 traffic incidents to illuminate historic safe and unsafe areas along school routes.

To effectively use the hazard map, simply input an address or school name into the search bar. The tool highlights prior accident locations, allowing families to recognize and avoid potential dangers. Additionally, users can contribute their experiences regarding risky spots, promoting community-driven safety awareness. This collaborative approach aids in preventing accidents by ensuring families are well-informed.
