Biking is a common form of transportation throughout Japan, so traffic parks / schools geared for kids exist to help them understand the laws and signs to traverse the busy roadways of Japan.
While in Tokyo, during a random day of exploring, we happened to be near one such park - Suginami Children's Traffic Park, so we decided to check it out.
At this park, there are foot pedal go-carts as well as bikes available to use free of charge (no helmets). The go-carts are for little kids with parents / guardians, so my kids rode bikes.

There are working traffic signals which bikers and go-karters, as well as pedestrians, must obey (I admit that when I was walking through the park I sometimes forgot to pay attention to the walk / don't walk signs).

Advanced riders can bike through the adjacent Zempukuji River Green Children's Bike Path.
Many families would ride in with their own bikes or just play on the playground and check out the old steam locomotive.
The kids had fun riding through the park.
It was such a fun, spontaneous visit!
