JAF regional traffic safety campaigns

Overview

The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) has implemented several regional traffic safety and education initiatives across Japan.

In mid-September 2026, the JAF launched campaigns in Kagoshima and Nagasaki as part of the Autumn National Traffic Safety Campaign. These efforts included interactive quizzes for children to earn ‘Child Safety Licenses’ and demonstrations using a ‘Seatbelt Convincer’ to illustrate the impact of collisions.

By mid-October 2026, the organization expanded its outreach through promotional booths at major events. In Oita Prefecture, JAF Kyushu integrated e-motorsports time trials and safety license issuance into the SUPER GT event. Concurrently, JAF Akita participated in the Akita NEXT Motor Show, combining child safety education with displays of next-generation vehicles and autonomous driving technology.
