[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Korea Road Traffic Authority announced on the 31st that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korea Association of the Deaf to create a safe traffic environment for hearing-impaired drivers.

Through this agreement, both organizations will cooperate to prevent traffic accidents involving hearing-impaired drivers and promote a culture of consideration, as well as collaborate on promotional activities such as awareness campaigns for hearing-impaired drivers.

In particular, the two organizations plan to develop three types of sign language interpretation educational content (traffic violations, drunk driving, general drivers) that hearing-impaired drivers can watch when taking traffic safety education. They will also produce car stickers indicating that the driver is hearing-impaired to promote a culture of consideration and improve awareness of disabled drivers.

Kim Man-bae, Head of Education at the Korea Road Traffic Authority, said, "Through this MOU, the Authority will strive to prevent accidents involving vulnerable road users by developing educational content and campaigns for disabled drivers."
