Daegu City Reinforces LED Signboards in Speed Variation Zones on '5030' Arterial Roads

LED traffic safety signboard in Daegu city.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Daegu City announced on the 26th that, together with the Daegu Police Agency, it has supplemented traffic safety facilities such as LED traffic safety signs as a follow-up measure to address issues arising since the implementation of 'Safe Speed 5030' on the 17th of last month.

In the Dongbuk-ro section (Hyomok Overpass Intersection to Bokhyeon Intersection), where frequent speed variations raised concerns about inconvenience, the speed limit was readjusted to a uniform 50 km/h during last month's police traffic safety facility review. For Beoman-ro (Gwangye Samgeori to Apsan Tunnel Road), the speed limit will be readjusted after this month's review.

On arterial roads with speed limits of 50 km/h or higher, where sudden vehicle deceleration is a concern due to children's protection zones, highly visible LED traffic safety signs will be installed.

By the end of July, when the enforcement grace period ends, 221 LED traffic safety signs will be replaced to prevent traffic accident risks and guide drivers to recognize speed limits in advance for safe driving, thereby reducing driver complaints and traffic inconveniences.

Additionally, in residential and side streets with a speed limit of 30 km/h, additional speed-related traffic safety facilities will be installed so that drivers can more clearly recognize the speed limits and drive safely.

Yoon Jeong-hee, Director of the Daegu City Transportation Bureau, stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure the smooth implementation of 'Safe Speed 5030' to protect citizens' safety and precious lives," and urged, "Please strictly adhere to the speed limits along with updating your navigation systems."
