Sang-ik Lee, Hampyeong County Governor, Joins 'Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge'

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Lee Sang-ik, the mayor of Hampyeong County, announced on the 4th that he participated in the ‘Children’s Traffic Safety Relay Challenge’ on the 3rd to prevent children's traffic accidents and establish a safe traffic culture.

The Traffic Safety Relay Challenge was promoted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in December last year to build national consensus on preventing traffic accidents in children protection zones.

The campaign proceeds by taking a photo holding the slogan ‘Stop at 1! Look both ways at 2! For 3 seconds! Prevent 4 high-risk behaviors!’ and uploading it on SNS, then nominating three next challengers to spread awareness about children's traffic safety.

Mayor Lee, who joined the challenge upon the nomination of Lee Hee-jin, president of the Jeonnam Green Mothers’ Association, nominated Kim Kyung-il, head of the Korea Water Resources Corporation Hampyeong Water Center, Kim Kwang-soo, president of the Hampyeong County Crime Prevention Association, and Lee Jae-gap, president of the UNICEF Hampyeong County Sponsorship Association as the next participants.

Mayor Lee Sang-ik said, “Every time I hear news of accidents in children protection zones, I feel a heavier sense of responsibility,” and urged, “I ask all county residents to actively participate in creating a safe traffic culture and work towards establishing a healthy and safe environment for children.”

Meanwhile, the county plans to invest about 560 million won this year for improvements in children protection zones, including the construction of sidewalks in front of elementary schools.
