[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyungpil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 5th that it received the highest grade, A, among 229 basic local governments in the '2019 Traffic Culture Index Survey' conducted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, showing that it has the highest level of traffic safety awareness nationwide.

The Traffic Culture Index is a quantified value based on an annual survey of residents' awareness of traffic safety in 229 basic local governments nationwide (classified into four groups: populations over and under 300,000, cities, counties, and districts). It investigates 18 evaluation indicators including driving behavior, pedestrian behavior, and traffic safety items.

Wando-gun received excellent evaluations evenly across three areas: driving behavior, pedestrian behavior, and traffic safety, with a total score of 85.86 points, ranking 2nd among 80 county groups.

According to the evaluation results, the county was highly rated for traffic safety facilities to prevent traffic accidents, installation of windbreaks at bus stops, and traffic safety guidance for the elderly and vulnerable groups.

The Traffic Culture Index Survey objectively evaluates the traffic culture level of local governments to promote voluntary competition in traffic safety and serves as basic data for traffic safety policies.

Lee Gi-seok, head of the Economic and Transportation Division of Wando-gun, said, “We will make further efforts to establish a safe traffic culture by continuously expanding traffic safety facilities and conducting traffic safety campaigns to enhance the convenience of residents and tourists.”
