What is the identity of the dotted cherry blossoms that appeared on Kiyosu Bridge?…？
"Kiyosu Bridge" is designated as a national important cultural property and has beautiful flowing curves.
The dotted cherry blossoms recently appeared on the road at the base of this bridge that crosses the Sumida River and connects Chuo-ku and Koto-ku.
What's this?
Priority lane of vehicles related to TOKYO 2020
Indeed, it was a priority lane for the passage of vehicles related to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Traffic regulation has begun in the host city due to the traffic of vehicles related to the tournament, and the fact that the Metropolitan Expressway has been raised (road pricing) during the day has become a hot topic in the news and the like.
In addition, on general roads, the operation of dedicated lanes and priority lanes for vehicles related to the tournament has begun.
Kiyosu Bridge is positioned as part of the route going down the Metropolitan Expressway at Hamacho and going to the Kokugikan competition venue in Ryogoku (Sumida-ku), so the priority lane was set up .
It seems that the solid line of cherry blossoms is a dedicated lane, and the dotted line of cherry blossoms is a priority lane, and the vicinity of Kiyosu Bridge where the dotted line is drawn is a priority lane.
The sign "TOKYO 2020" is displayed on Nihonbashi.
Another related topic.
Now, if you look up at the Kirin statue from the top of Nihonbashi, you can find the sign "TOKYO 2020" in the back. This is also cherry blossoms!
This also seems to be a sign that is installed to indicate the traffic route of vehicles related to the tournament.
It's the Olympic and Paralympic Games that welcomes you with a lot of complicated feelings.…I would like to remember the current scenery firmly.
