Promoting Traffic Safety in Cooperation with the Police and Schools

Mazda dealerships work together with local police departments to promote awareness for traffic safety by cleaning convex traffic mirrors, calling for traffic safety, and other activities.
Mazda Autozam Ito has cleaned and inspected roughly 1,000 convex mirrors since 2003 and informs the police of its activities. In FY2019, 60 mirrors were cleaned.
Every spring, Okayama Mazda, working in cooperation with the Okayama prefectural police and regional council to promote traffic safety, participates in the cleaning of road signs and convex traffic mirrors as well as roads and sidewalks near the dealerships. In FY2019, a total of 190 people participated.

Additionally, along with helping the elderly and children cross roads and guiding safe commuting to school by bicycle together with teachers, customers visiting dealerships were told traffic safety points for drivers, such as turning on lights early and protecting pedestrians. A customer commented, "I learned about accidents in the prefecture, and I'm glad I learned about the danger of complacent driving. From now on, I'll keep in mind that I can never be lax behind the wheel."
