Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a bicycle travel restriction plate that restricts bicycles from traveling in the wrong direction on roads. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, many cyclists are riding their bicycles on the road without realizing that bicycles are vehicles under the Road Traffic Act. In this situation, bicycles are sometimes riding in the wrong direction on the sidewalk, which is extremely dangerous for pedestrians.

[0003] In recent years, bicycles have been restricted to riding on the road side of the sidewalk. Furthermore, when sidewalks are wider than a certain width, a barrier separating pedestrian lanes from bicycle lanes is often installed on the road surface. However, there are many cases where bicycles do not follow this restriction and ride in the pedestrian zone on the sidewalk opposite the road.

[0004] Furthermore, there are cases where bicycles are traveling in the wrong direction on the road, which is not only a violation of the Road Traffic Act but also a very dangerous situation for both the bicycle traveling in the wrong direction on the road and the vehicles traveling on it.

[0005] One technology that can solve this problem is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1. According to Patent Document 1, a plurality of steel blocks are installed at predetermined intervals along the walking direction of an existing pedestrian path separated from the roadway, and steel fences are installed at the same intervals, completely separating the pedestrian path into a pedestrian lane and a bicycle lane (see Figure 1 in Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5762065 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, according to the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, multiple steel blocks and steel fences are installed at predetermined intervals along the walking direction of the pedestrian path, which causes problems in that the installation work takes time and is expensive. Therefore, there has been a need for technology that can regulate wrong-way bicycle riding by making cyclists aware that they are riding in the wrong direction, without the time and expense required for installation as in the past.

[0008] The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a bicycle riding restriction plate that can restrict bicycles from riding in the wrong direction by making the bicycle rider aware that he or she is riding in the wrong direction. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The device described in claim 1 comprises a plate-shaped device that is placed on a road surface and has a protrusion on the front side and a surface for fixing to the road surface on the back side, the protrusion having a protruding surface that protrudes above the plate body and an inclined surface that is connected to the top of the protruding surface, the protruding surface facing one end of the plate body, and the inclined surface that is inclined from the top of the protruding surface facing the other end of the plate body, and is formed so that the height dimension gradually decreases toward the other end. When a bicycle travels in the wrong direction on the road surface and climbs onto the plate body from the one end side, the wheel of the bicycle collides with and climbs onto the protruding surface portion, allowing the bicycle rider to sense an impact; when the bicycle travels in the right direction on the road surface and climbs onto the plate body from the other end side, the wheel climbs onto the inclined surface portion, allowing the bicycle rider to sense an impact that is smaller than the impact felt when climbing onto the plate body while traveling in the wrong direction.

[0010] According to the invention described in claim 1 above, when a bicycle travels in the opposite direction to the normal direction and climbs onto the plate body from one end, the wheel hits the protruding surface, allowing the rider to sense the impact.

[0011] Furthermore, when the bicycle travels in the normal direction and climbs onto the plate body from the other end, the wheel climbs onto the inclined surface, allowing the rider to sense a smaller impact than would be sensed if the bicycle were to climb onto the plate body while traveling in the wrong direction.

[0012] Therefore, if a bicycle is traveling in the wrong direction and its wheel hits a protruding surface and climbs up, the rider will feel a greater impact than if the bicycle were traveling in the normal direction and its wheel climbed up an inclined surface.As a result, if the rider is traveling in the wrong direction, the rider will be made aware that they are traveling in the wrong direction by sensing this relatively large impact.

[0013] In the device described in claim 2, the plate body is formed in a flat rectangular shape, the longitudinal side surfaces of the protrusions are formed in a triangular shape and multiple protrusions are arranged in a row along the length of the plate body, the protruding surface portion arranged at one end of the length of the plate body is inclined toward the other end of the length of the plate body, and the protruding surface portions of the other protrusions are formed upright relative to the plate body.

[0014] According to the device described in claim 1, the protruding surface portion located at one end of the plate body in the longitudinal direction is inclined toward the other end of the longitudinal direction, so that when a bicycle is traveling in the wrong direction, its wheels first collide with the inclined protruding surface portion and ride up.

[0015] This allows the bicycle to ride up more stably than if the wheel first struck the protruding surface portion that stands upright relative to the plate body.

[0016] In addition, the protruding surfaces of the other protrusions are formed upright relative to the plate body, so that when a bicycle is traveling in the wrong direction, its wheels will collide with and ride up against the inclined protruding surfaces, and then they will collide with and ride up against the upright protruding surfaces.

[0017] Therefore, after the wheel hits the inclined protruding surface and runs up onto the plate body, the driver can more reliably sense the impact that would be felt when the wheel runs up onto the plate body. As a result, the driver's safety is maintained and the driver is more aware that he or she is driving in the wrong direction.

[0018] In the device described in claim 3, the plate body is installed and fixed to the road surface so that the length direction is aligned with the vehicle travel direction defined by the roadway that constitutes the road surface, and one end of the length direction is forward in the travel direction, and a bicycle traveling in the opposite direction to the travel direction will collide with the protruding surface portion.

[0019] According to the device described in claim 3 above, when a bicycle travels in the opposite direction to the vehicle, the bicycle will collide with the protruding surface portion from one end of the plate body in the longitudinal direction.

[0020] Therefore, if a bicycle traveling in the wrong direction collides with the protruding surface and rides up, the rider can sense the impact. As a result, when a rider is traveling in the wrong direction, sensing the impact makes it even more clear to the rider that they are traveling in the wrong direction.

[0021] In the device described in claim 4, in the case of the roadway, the device is installed at the widthwise ends of the roadway and forms the road surface, and in the case of the sidewalk adjacent to the roadway, the device is installed at both widthwise ends of the sidewalk.

[0022] According to the invention described in claim 4 above, a bicycle travel restriction plate is installed at the widthwise end of the roadway, making it possible to restrict bicycles from traveling in the wrong direction on the roadway.

[0023] In addition, on the sidewalk, plates for restricting bicycle riding are installed at both ends in the width direction, making it possible to restrict bicycles from riding in the wrong direction on the sidewalk.

[0024] Furthermore, by installing the bicycle travel restriction plates at both ends of the sidewalk in the width direction, the bicycle travel restriction plates can be used as a substitute for tactile paving blocks.

[0025] In other words, it will be possible to inform visually impaired people that zones where bicycle travel restriction plates are installed on sidewalks are zones where there is a risk of bicycles traveling in the wrong direction, or zones where vehicles traveling on other roads perpendicular to the sidewalk will pass nearby.

[0026] In the device described in claim 5, the height dimension of the protrusion of the bicycle travel restriction plate that is installed and fixed to the roadway is formed to be higher than the height dimension of the protrusion of the bicycle travel restriction plate that is placed and fixed to the road surface of the sidewalk.

[0027] According to the invention described in claim 5 above, the height dimension of the protrusions of the bicycle travel restriction plate installed and fixed to the roadway is higher than the height dimension of the protrusions of the bicycle travel restriction plate installed and fixed to the road surface of the sidewalk.

[0028] Therefore, when a bicycle is traveling the wrong way on the road and its wheels collide with the protruding surface of a protrusion, the rider will feel a greater impact than when a bicycle is traveling the wrong way on the sidewalk and its wheels collide with the protruding surface of a protrusion.

[0029] As a result, it becomes possible to make the driver more aware that he or she is driving the wrong way on a roadway where the risk of an accident due to wrong-way driving is higher.

[0030] In the device described in claim 6, the protruding surface portion located at one longitudinal end of the plate body is provided with a light-reflecting member that reflects the light of the bicycle light so that it can be seen by the rider at night, a luminous member that absorbs and stores light during the day and emits light so that it can be seen by the rider at night, or a light-emitting means that emits light so that it can be seen by the rider when power is supplied.

[0031] According to the device described in claim 6 above, a light-reflecting material, a light-storing material, or a light-emitting means is provided on the protruding surface, so that the protruding surface can be seen even in dark surroundings due to the light reflection or emission of the bicycle light.

[0032] Therefore, if a bicycle is traveling in the wrong direction, the rider can recognize the presence of the bicycle travel restriction plate before the wheel hits the protruding surface. As a result, if a rider is traveling in the wrong direction, the rider can be made aware of the fact that they are traveling in the wrong direction earlier and more safely. [Effects of the Invention]

[0033] This invention has the effect of preventing bicycles from going the wrong way by making bicycle riders aware that they are going the wrong way. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0034] [Figure 1] 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of a bicycle restriction plate for installation on a roadway according to the present invention; [Figure 2] 1 is a side view showing one embodiment of a bicycle restriction plate for installation on a roadway according to the present invention; [Figure 3] 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of a bicycle travel restriction plate for installation on a sidewalk according to the present invention. [Figure 4] 1 is a diagram showing the installation locations of bicycle restriction plates for installation on roadways and sidewalks according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0035] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0036] The bicycle travel restriction plate 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a bicycle travel restriction plate to be installed on a roadway, and is formed in the shape of a plate overall and installed on a road surface 11. It has protrusions 13 (13a to 13d) on the front surface 12 and a plate body 16 on the back surface 14 on which a fixing surface portion 15 for fixing to the road surface 11 is formed.

[0037] The protrusion 13 has protruding surface portions 17 (17a to 17d) that protrude upward from the plate body 16, and an inclined surface portion 19 that is continuous with the top portion 18 of the protruding surface portion 17.

[0038] The protruding surface portion 17 faces one end 20 of the plate body 16, and the inclined surface portion 19 is inclined from the top 18 of the protruding surface portion 17 to face the other end 21 of the plate body 16, and is formed so that the height dimension H1 gradually decreases toward the other end 21 (see Figure 2).

[0039] The bicycle travel restriction plate 10 is installed and fixed on the road surface 11 so that when a bicycle (not shown) travels in the wrong direction on the road surface 11 and climbs onto the plate body 16 from one end 20, the bicycle wheel will collide with the protruding surface portion 17 and climb up, allowing the bicycle rider to sense the impact.

[0040] Furthermore, the bicycle travel restriction plate 10 is installed and fixed on the road surface 11 so that when the bicycle travels in the normal travel direction on the road surface 11 and runs onto the plate body 16 from the other end 21 side, the wheel runs onto the inclined surface portion 19, and the rider can sense an impact that is smaller than the impact felt when running onto the plate body 16 while traveling in the wrong direction.

[0041] In FIG. 2, the normal driving direction on the road surface 11 is the direction indicated by the arrow X, and the direction opposite to the normal driving direction is the direction indicated by the arrow Y.

[0042] The plate body 16 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from above, and the protrusions 13 have triangular sides in the longitudinal direction and are arranged in a series along the longitudinal direction of the plate body 16 .

[0043] The protruding surface portion 17 (17a) arranged at one longitudinal end 20 of the plate body 16 is inclined toward the other longitudinal end 21 of the plate body 16, and the protruding surface portions 17 (17b to 17d) of the other protrusions 13 are formed upright relative to the plate body 16.

[0044] More specifically, the protruding surface portion 17 a is inclined so that the height dimension gradually increases toward the other end 21 .

[0045] The plate body 16 is made of synthetic resin (e.g., polyester elastomer or synthetic rubber) and has a length of approximately 60 cm and a width of approximately 50 cm (the above dimensions are examples and are not limited to these).

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of protrusions 13 is four, but is not limited to this.

[0047] The plate body 16 is installed and fixed to the road surface 11 so that its length is aligned with the direction of travel of a vehicle (not shown) as defined by the roadway 22 (see Figure 4) that constitutes the road surface 11, and so that the one end 20 in the length direction is forward in the direction of travel, and so that a bicycle traveling in the opposite direction to the direction of travel will collide with the protruding surface portion 17.

[0048] The bicycle travel restriction plate 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2 described above is installed and fixed on the roadway 22 (see Figure 4), but when installing and fixing on the sidewalk 23 (see Figure 4), the bicycle travel restriction plate 24 shown in Figure 3 is used.

[0049] The bicycle travel restriction plate 24 shown in Figure 3 is a bicycle travel restriction plate installed on sidewalks, and is similar in basic configuration to the bicycle travel restriction plate 10, but differs from the bicycle travel restriction plate 10 for roadways in that it has protrusions 25 (25a to 25d) instead of protrusions 13 (13a to 13d).

[0050] The protrusion 25 has protruding surface portions 26 (26a to 26d) that protrude upward from the plate body 16, and an inclined surface portion 28 that is continuous with the top portion 27 of the protruding surface portion 26.

[0051] Here, the height dimensions of the protrusions 13 and 25 of the bicycle travel restriction plates 10 and 24 will be compared.

[0052] The height dimension H1 (see Figure 2) of the protrusion 13 of the bicycle travel restriction plate 10 installed and fixed on the roadway 22 is formed to be higher than the height dimension H2 (see Figure 3) of the protrusion 25 of the bicycle travel restriction plate 24 installed and fixed on the road surface 11 of the sidewalk 23.

[0053] Specifically, the height dimension H1 of the protrusion 13 is 1.5 cm or more and 2 cm or less, and the height dimension H2 of the protrusion 25 is 0.8 cm or more and 1 cm or less (the above dimensions are examples and are not limited to these).

[0054] The protruding surface portions 17 (17a), 26 (a) located at one longitudinal end 20 of the plate body 16 are provided with a light-reflecting member that reflects the light of the bicycle light so that it can be seen by the rider at night, a luminous member that absorbs and stores light during the day and emits light so that it can be seen by the rider at night, or a light-emitting means that emits light so that it can be seen by the rider when power is supplied.

[0055] In this embodiment, the light reflecting member is used in the bicycle travel restriction plates 10 and 24. Reference numeral 29 shown in Figures 1 and 2 and reference numeral 30 shown in Figure 3 each indicate a light reflecting member.

[0056] Next, the installation locations of the bicycle travel restriction plates 10, 24 will be described with reference to FIG. 4 and other figures.

[0057] As shown in Figure 4, on the roadway 22, bicycle travel restriction plates 10 are installed at the widthwise ends 31, 32 of the roadway 22 and form the road surface 11, and on the sidewalk 23 adjacent to the roadway 22, bicycle travel restriction plates 24 are installed at both widthwise ends 33, 34 of the sidewalk 23.

[0058] Bicycle travel restriction plates 24 are also installed on the sidewalk 23 at locations where the sidewalk intersects with other roadways 35. In this case, the bicycle travel restriction plates 24 function as a substitute for tactile paving blocks, informing visually impaired people that the zone in which the plates are installed is a zone where vehicles traveling on other roadways 35 will pass nearby.

[0059] Here, in FIG. 4, the normal driving direction on the roadway 22 is the direction indicated by the arrows X1 and X2, and on the sidewalk 23, if the walking direction of a pedestrian is fixed, the walking direction is the direction indicated by the arrows X3 and X4.

[0060] Therefore, the bicycle travel restricting plates 10, 24 are installed and fixed so that one end 20 is on the forward side in the travel or walking direction (ie, the leading end side in the direction indicated by the arrows X1 to X4).

[0061] As shown in FIG. 4, the bicycle travel restriction plates 10, 24 are installed at predetermined intervals along the normal travel direction.

[0062] The bicycle travel restriction plates 10, 24 are installed and fixed to the road surface 11, for example, by bonding the fixing surface portion 15 of the plate body 16 to the road surface 11 with an adhesive (this is one example, and other fixing means may also be used).

[0063] According to this embodiment having the above configuration, when a bicycle travels in the opposite direction to the normal direction and climbs onto the plate body 16 from one end 20 side, the wheel collides with the protruding surface portions 17, 26, allowing the rider to sense the impact.

[0064] Furthermore, when the bicycle travels in the normal traveling direction and runs onto the plate body 16 from the other end 21 side, the wheels run onto the inclined surface parts 19, 28, and the rider can sense a smaller impact than when the wheels run onto the plate body 16 while traveling in the wrong direction.

[0065] Therefore, when the bicycle is traveling in the wrong direction and the wheels collide with and climb up on the protruding surfaces 17, 26, the rider will feel a greater impact than when the bicycle is traveling in the normal direction and the wheels climb up on the inclined surfaces 19, 28.

[0066] As a result, when the driver is driving in the wrong direction, the above-mentioned relatively large impact can be detected, making it possible to make the driver aware that he or she is driving in the wrong direction.

[0067] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the protruding surface portions 17a, 26a arranged at one longitudinal end portion 20 of the plate body 16 are inclined toward the other longitudinal end portion 21, so that when a bicycle travels in the wrong direction, its wheels first collide with the inclined protruding surface portions 17a, 26a and ride up.

[0068] This allows the bicycle to ride up more stably than if the wheels first collide with the protruding surface portions 17b to 17d, 26b to 26d that stand upright relative to the plate body 16.

[0069] Furthermore, the other protruding surface portions 17b to 17d, 26b to 26d are formed upright relative to the plate body 16, so that when a bicycle is traveling in the wrong direction, its wheels collide with and ride up against the inclined protruding surface portions 17a, 26a, and then collide with and ride up against the upright protruding surface portions 17b to 17d, 26b to 26d.

[0070] Therefore, after the wheel collides with and rides over the inclined protruding surface portions 17a, 26a, the driver can more reliably sense the impact felt when the wheel rides over the plate body 16.

[0071] As a result, it is possible to make the driver more aware that he or she is driving in the wrong direction while maintaining the driver's safety.

[0072] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, when a bicycle travels in the opposite direction to the vehicle, the bicycle will collide with the protruding surface portion 17a from the one end portion 20 side of the plate body 16 in the longitudinal direction.

[0073] Therefore, if a bicycle traveling in the wrong direction collides with and rides up on the protruding surface 17a, the rider can sense the impact. As a result, when a rider is traveling in the wrong direction, sensing the impact makes it even more clear to the rider that he or she is traveling in the wrong direction.

[0074] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, since the bicycle travel restriction plates 10 are installed at the widthwise ends 31, 32 of the roadway 22, it is possible to restrict bicycles from traveling in the wrong direction on the roadway 22.

[0075] In addition, bicycle travel restriction plates 24 are installed on both widthwise ends 33, 34 of the sidewalk 23, making it possible to restrict bicycles from traveling in the wrong direction on the sidewalk 23.

[0076] Furthermore, by installing the bicycle travel restriction plates 24 at both widthwise ends 33, 34 of the sidewalk 23, the bicycle travel restriction plates 24 can be used as a substitute for braille blocks.

[0077] In other words, it is possible to inform visually impaired people that the zone where the bicycle travel restriction plate 24 is installed is a zone where bicycles may be traveling, and that the other roadway 35 perpendicular to the sidewalk 23 is a zone where vehicles will be passing nearby.

[0078] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the height H1 of the protrusion 13 of the bicycle travel restriction plate 10 for roadways is greater than the height H2 of the protrusion 25 of the bicycle travel restriction plate 24 for sidewalks.

[0079] Therefore, when a bicycle runs in the wrong direction on the roadway 22 and its wheels collide with the protruding surface 17 of the protrusion 13, the rider will feel a greater impact than when the bicycle runs in the wrong direction on the sidewalk 23 and its wheels collide with the protruding surface 26 of the protrusion 25.

[0080] As a result, it becomes possible to make the driver more aware that he or she is driving the wrong way on road 22, where the risk of an accident due to wrong-way driving is higher.

[0081] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the protruding surfaces 17, 26 are provided with light-reflecting members 29, 30, phosphorescent materials, or light-emitting means, so that the protruding surfaces can be seen even in dark surroundings due to the light reflection or emission of the bicycle light.

[0082] Therefore, if a bicycle is traveling in the wrong direction, the rider can recognize the presence of bicycle travel restriction plates 10, 24 before the wheel hits protruding surface portions 17, 26. As a result, if a rider is traveling in the wrong direction, the rider can be made aware of the fact that he or she is traveling in the wrong direction earlier and more safely.

[0083] As described above, this embodiment has the effect of restricting wrong-way riding of bicycles by making the bicycle rider aware that he or she is riding in the wrong direction.

[0084] The configurations described in the above embodiments can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention, and are not limited to the configurations of the above embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
