[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] On the 19th, Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun announced that on the 18th, about 30 participants including military officials and the Gurye Police Station held the ‘2020 Thank You!’ traffic safety relay campaign at the Gurye 5-day Market to reduce traffic accidents by half.

This campaign is being conducted in relay by 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do, aiming to establish the importance of traffic safety and promote a safety culture that prioritizes pedestrians. The campaign was organized to raise awareness of traffic safety among market merchants and residents with themes such as “Don’t rush, go slowly!”, “Stop at crosswalks! Look carefully! Cross!”, and “Stop immediately when you see a person!”

Military officials participating in the campaign distributed masks as promotional items to merchants and residents in the market.

A military official said, “We hope that this relay campaign will contribute to reducing the increasing number of traffic accident fatalities every year and raise awareness of traffic safety.”

Going forward, Gurye-gun plans to continue campaigns and conduct regular safety inspections aiming to establish a mature traffic culture. They will also promote projects to lower speed limits in urban areas and operate the ‘Namdo Safety School,’ a visiting village safety education program for the elderly, to continuously expand support for vulnerable groups and areas in traffic safety.
