Sejong-si Enhances Visibility in 70 Children's Protection Zones
[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City is focusing on enhancing visibility in 70 local school zones.
The city recently announced on the 6th that it decided to implement a visibility enhancement project after the city, the National Police Agency, and the Office of Education conducted individual inspections by each institution and joint inspections of multiple facilities with complaints, confirming damage to pavement speed limit markings.
The inspections were conducted on March 25 to coincide with the enforcement of the so-called ‘Minsik Law,’ which strengthens penalties for drivers involved in accidents and mandates the installation of unmanned speed cameras, aiming to achieve zero traffic accidents in school zones.
As a result, it was confirmed that many pavement speed limit markings in local school zones were damaged, and some signs did not comply with regulations, undermining the uniformity and visibility of pavement markings.
Accordingly, the city explained that it will reflect the results of the comprehensive inspection in the ‘2020 School Zone Improvement Project’ and focus on projects to enhance visibility such as pavement markings, traffic signs, and the installation of unmanned traffic enforcement equipment.
Additionally, since many habitual illegal parking areas were identified mainly in eup and myeon areas during the inspection, the city plans to promote the installation of CCTV, strengthen parking enforcement, and activate the resident reporting system through the Safe Newspaper app.

Kim Tae-oh, head of the city’s Transportation Division, said, “We will work closely with related organizations to ensure that school zones become safe places for young children,” and added, “Especially since penalties for drivers involved in accidents have been strengthened, we urge citizens to pay more attention to safe driving to prevent child traffic accidents.”
