VTuber AZKi joins Japanese police to promote new traffic rules

VTuber AZKi has entered a real-life role as she was appointed by Japanese police as a Traffic Regulation Ambassador. This is part of a new campaign to promote awareness about new traffic regulations, particularly a major change in which speed limits on residential streets will be reduced. There has been a trend of authorities engaging internet personalities to promote awareness about a variety of issues, and AZKi’s popularity makes her an ideal candidate for this role.

The new rule, which will be implemented from September 1, 2026, will reduce the speed limit on residential roads to 30 km/h from the existing 60 km/h. This is to make the roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists. This information was shared by AZKi in a promotional message. With her strong online presence and connection with fans, officials hope her message will reach younger audiences effectively.
