Seochunsoo, County Governor of Hamyang, Participates in Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Seo Chun-soo, the mayor of Hamyang County, Gyeongnam, announced on the 17th that he participated in the Children's Traffic Safety Relay Challenge to establish a traffic safety culture within the Children's Protection Zone.

On this day, Mayor Seo held a placard with the phrase "Stop at 1 step, move to the 2nd lane, wait for 3 seconds, prevent 4 dangers" and took a certification photo, saying, "Creating a safe walking environment is important for vulnerable road users, including children. To achieve this, it is necessary to spread a pedestrian-centered traffic safety culture and shift policies toward improving the traffic culture index."

He continued, "We have selected four policy tasks: safe road users, safe road environment, safe vehicles, and establishment of an advanced safety management system, and requested the responsible departments to prepare detailed implementation plans for each sector."

This relay is an online campaign hosted by the Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, designating three participants to continuously build public consensus on establishing a culture that prioritizes child protection and preventing child traffic accidents following fatal accidents in Children's Protection Zones.

Mayor Seo was nominated on the 10th by the Director of the Gyeongbuk Health and Environment Research Institute, and he designated Seo Sang-tae, Chief of Hamyang Police Station, Park Jin-seo, President of the ROTC Central Association, and Choi Seok-hyun, Head of the Hamyang County Branch of the Private Taxi Association, as the next participants.

Meanwhile, this year, the county received an A grade in the national traffic culture index survey hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and in December last year, it was selected as an excellent institution in public transportation service and policy evaluation in the fields of public transportation facilities, services, administration, and policy support, receiving a commendation from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
