[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, and the police announced on the 9th that starting from the 17th, the speed limits on roads in five towns and townships within the region will be lowered by 10 km/h from the existing limits.

This measure is in accordance with the implementation of the "Safe Speed 5030" system, which will be enforced from the 17th following the revision of the Road Traffic Act.

The five target areas are Sancheong-eup, and the districts of Geumseo, Sicheon, Danseong, and Sinan myeon.

The speed limit on wide city roads with frequent vehicle traffic will be reduced from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. On narrow neighborhood roads without sidewalks or separate lanes (such as residential areas or protected zones), the speed limit will be lowered from 40 km/h to 30 km/h.

Since last year, the county has been continuously promoting traffic environment improvement projects, including installing "Safe Speed 5030" signs in downtown areas of each town and township.

Starting in April, the county has also been working with the Sancheong Police Station and Sancheong Office of Education to improve safety facilities within school zones and other child protection areas.

A county official stated, "In addition to the Safe Speed 5030 reduction project, we will continue to raise the level of traffic safety in the county through various traffic environment improvement projects," and added, "We will keep striving to enhance citizens' convenience and prevent safety accidents."
