Leading the Spread of Advanced Traffic Culture and Reduction of Traffic Accidents
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] As a result of intensive crackdowns on violations of laws by commercial vehicles, Gwangju police found that traffic accidents significantly decreased compared to the previous year.
Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 16th that it conducted an intensive crackdown on commercial vehicles from the 29th of last month to the 12th.
This was promoted based on the judgment that commercial vehicles have a very large influence on the formation of traffic culture, aiming to spread an advanced traffic culture centered on pedestrian protection and to prevent traffic accidents.
A total of 735 cases (a 300% increase compared to the previous year) were cracked down on, of which signal violations, cutting in, and not wearing seat belts accounted for 70%.
During this period, the number of traffic accidents significantly decreased.
A total of 379 cases occurred, which is an 11.2% decrease compared to the same period last year (427 cases).
Before the intensive crackdown, Gwangju police actively promoted the purpose of the crackdown and the main targets from the 22nd to the 28th of last month.
They sent letters to transportation companies and visited them to conduct education related to compliance with traffic laws. They also informed the public through media such as TBN traffic broadcasting and their website.
