【どんなときに反則金?】自転車の“青切符”違反行為は113種類…「傘さし運転」など“解釈の余地”あるケースも　取締り強化時間は午前8時・午後5時頃　新ルールを徹底解説（MBSニュース） - Yahoo!ニュース

This page explains Japan's new "blue traffic ticket" system for bicycles, implemented from April 1, 2024. The system covers 113 types of violations, including smartphone use while riding (12,000 yen), signal violations (6,000 yen), and riding without lights (5,000 yen). Unlike the existing "red ticket" for serious violations, the blue ticket applies to minor infractions, requiring payment of fines without criminal records. Introduced to reduce approximately 70,000 annual bicycle accidents, police typically issue warnings first, though immediate citations are possible in some cases.
