Accordingly, those three factors are the focus of JAMA’s and its member manufacturers’ road safety activities (for the latter’s vehicle-related measures for increased active and passive safety, see page 27). JAMA’s activities promoting greater road safety target road users and are implemented through various channels. JAMA also regularly submits to Japan’s relevant authorities recommendations on road infrastructure-related measures for increased safety and convenience in road use. In 2019 road fatalities (defined here as deaths occurring within 24 hours after accident) in Japan dropped to 3,215, the lowest level recorded since the start of road fatality data compilation in 1948 by the National Police Agency. Road accidents and road injuries also declined, for the fifteenth consecutive year, to 381,237 and 461,775, respectively. Seatbelt use is a major contributing factor to reduced fatalities and reduced injuries in road traffic accidents. The June 2008 revision to the Road Traffic Act requires all automobile occupants, including rear-seat occupants, to use seatbelts. Although the rate of use of rear seatbelts in 2019 stood at 39.2% on regular roads and at 74.1% on expressways, those rates remain low compared to the rate of use of front seatbelts, which approaches 100%. Further measures are needed to encourage rear-seat occupants to buckle up.Road SafetyRoad Safety718,080472,938476,677552,788643,097761,794931,950934,346725,924692,084665,157629,033573,842536,899499,201472,165430,601381,237981,096622,467598,719681,346790,295922,6771,155,7071,157,113896,297854,613825,392781,492711,374666,023618,853580,850525,846461,77516,76510,7928,7609,26111,22710,6849,0736,9374,9484,6914,4384,3884,1134,1173,9043,6943,5323,215Notes: 1. The 2019 survey on seatbelt use was conducted in November. 2. 2019 survey samples totalled roughly 410,000 on regular roads and 88,000 on expressways.● SEATBELT USE RATES BY SEAT POSITIONIn %Driver’s seat2010Year1112131415161718200406080100Regular RoadsFront passenger’s seat Rear seat97.397.597.798.098.298.498.598.692.292.793.293.993.994.694.995.233.133.233.235.135.135.136.036.498.898.895.995.938.039.22010Year11121314151617181919200406080100Expressways99.299.399.599.499.599.499.599.597.097.397.797.998.198.098.098.398.363.763.565.468.270.371.371.874.499.699.698.574.274.1Sources: National Police Agency; Japan Automobile Federation25
