Three Elementary Schools in Guro-gu Install 'Yellow Traffic Lights'

Increasing Visibility by Changing Traffic Light Borders from Black to Yellow... Inducing Vehicle Deceleration and Pedestrian Caution to Prevent Accidents... 4-5 Additional Locations This Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] "Slow down when you see the yellow traffic light!"

Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) has installed 'yellow traffic lights' at three elementary schools in the district.

Guro-gu stated that it is carrying out projects to expand safety facilities near elementary schools to prevent children's traffic accidents, and recently completed the installation of yellow traffic lights at Guronam Elementary School (Digital-ro 27-gil 76), Singuro Elementary School (Gamasan-ro 27-gil 69), and Oryunam Elementary School (Seohaean-ro 24-gil 22).

The 'yellow traffic light' project involves changing the black border color of traffic lights within school zones to yellow so that the traffic signals are more easily noticeable to drivers and pedestrians. This enhances the visibility of traffic signals, reduces vehicle speed, and raises pedestrian awareness.

Guro-gu selected project sites by comprehensively considering factors such as the number of lanes on the road (three lanes or fewer in both directions), vehicle traffic volume, and pedestrian crosswalk usage rates, and replaced vehicle warning/signals and pedestrian traffic lights accordingly.

Through this year's supplementary budget, the district plans to install additional yellow traffic lights near 4 to 5 more elementary schools.

A Guro-gu official said, "We hope that drivers will immediately reduce their speed when they see the yellow traffic lights," adding, "We will do our best to create an environment where children can grow up safely."
