Gwangyang Police Conduct 'Road Site Safety Inspection' to Prevent Major Traffic Accidents

Police Chief Actively Conducts On-Site Inspections of All Roads in Jurisdiction

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 30th, the Gwangyang Police Station in Jeonnam announced that it conducted on-site safety inspections on 1,548.16 km of roads including National Route 2, provincial roads, and city roads within its jurisdiction.

On this day, the police chief personally went to the site with traffic function officers to inspect traffic safety facilities such as locations of fatal accidents, habitual traffic violations, and major intersections. Based on this, a three-step policy including traffic safety promotion, facility improvement, and law enforcement against violations will be implemented.

First, Gwangyang Police will send letters to large vehicle transport companies urging compliance with regulations and use flyers to carry out customized promotions targeting elderly drivers and pedestrians.

Next, they will prevent accidents in advance by removing roadside trees that block traffic facilities and conducting a thorough maintenance of aged and faded traffic safety facilities.

Finally, continuous enforcement and guidance will be carried out against habitual traffic violators, and spot checks for drunk driving will be conducted to improve awareness of traffic law compliance.

Jang Jinyoung, chief of Gwangyang Police Station, said, “An advanced traffic culture requires the participation and effort of both the police and citizens,” and urged “compliance with traffic laws and safe driving practices.”

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Autonomous Police Committee is also promoting large-scale traffic accident prevention measures such as on-site safety inspections, which are expected to prevent various traffic accidents in advance.
