[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that County Governor Jeon Dong-pyeong conducted a campaign on the morning of the 7th at 8 a.m. around Daebul Elementary School to promote residents' safety awareness and the practice of social distancing to overcome COVID-19.

Following the campaign held on the 25th of last month, this continuous campaign was carried out to remind people of the importance of traffic safety and to create an atmosphere encouraging active participation in the safety culture movement. About 20 people gathered, including Jeonnam Yeongam Office of Education, Yeongam Police Station, Daebul Elementary School, Daebul Green Mothers' Association, and Yeongam Model Drivers Association members, to actively promote the campaign.

Participants handed out candy of love to students going to school around the elementary school's front and back gates near the child protection zone and guided them on crosswalk safety rules such as "Seogoyo" (Stop, Look, Cross).

Additionally, drivers around the school were encouraged to comply with traffic laws regarding vehicles passing through child protection zones and to observe the "Safe Speed 5030" policy, which lowers the urban speed limit to within 50 km/h on general roads and within 30 km/h on residential and side streets.

Furthermore, promotional items related to safety, such as masks, were distributed to encourage voluntary participation of residents in COVID-19 prevention measures.

County Governor Jeon Dong-pyeong, who participated in the campaign, said, "We need the cooperation of all residents to spread a safe traffic culture through the proper walking habits of drivers and children," adding, "We will continue to create an environment where residents can live safely through ongoing promotion and effective policies."
