OSAKA (Japan Times/ANN): A street in Kita Ward, Osaka, which is notorious for prostitution, has been painted yellow as part of an effort to discourage prostitutes from standing there and waiting for customers.
The yellow paint was applied to the street in December 2024. The intention is to trigger a psychological effect, as people do not like to be in a conspicuous location.
