Are traffic rules strictly respected or enforced in Japan?

Are there any unspoken rules, unexpected habits or regulations that you had to adapt to?

Are the roads safe and well-maintained?

If you have children, do you feel comfortable letting them travel alone on local roads, whether on foot, by bike, or motorbike?
