Yongin City Installs Unmanned Traffic Enforcement Cameras in All Elementary Schools Within the Jurisdiction

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will install unmanned traffic enforcement cameras in front of all elementary schools this year.

Yongin City announced on the 7th that, ahead of the enforcement of the revised "Road Traffic Act" (tentatively called the Min-sik Act) passed by the National Assembly last December, it plans to proactively strengthen children's traffic safety by installing unmanned traffic enforcement cameras in front of all elementary schools in the city by the end of this year.

There are 105 elementary schools in the Yongin area. Among them, traffic enforcement cameras are installed in 47 schools (44.8%) located in children's protection zones. The city will install traffic enforcement cameras in front of the remaining 58 elementary schools.

The city plans to secure a project budget of 2.3 billion KRW for this purpose.

In addition to installing traffic enforcement cameras, the city will continuously expand facilities for children's traffic safety, such as yellow traffic lights, diagonal crosswalks, and speed bumps.

A city official stated, "In line with the status of a safe city, we decided to proactively implement children's traffic safety measures before the law is enforced," adding, "We will do our best to create safe school routes where both children and parents can feel secure."
