[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do is investing over 200 million won to expand and install traffic safety facilities.

On the 17th, according to the county, to reduce pedestrian traffic accidents and improve traffic safety, they will reinforce lighting facilities within crosswalks and add auxiliary signal facilities to strengthen traffic safety facilities.

The reinforcement of traffic safety facilities is implemented in connection with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Safe Speed 5030' as part of the project to halve traffic accidents, jointly conducted by Jeollanam-do and the Jeonnam Police Agency.

To reduce vehicle speed and lower traffic accidents and fatality rates, safety facilities such as runway-type crosswalks (12 locations), ground-level traffic lights (2 locations), and crosswalk floodlights (15 units) will be strengthened to ensure pedestrian safety.

In particular, traffic facilities will be enhanced on major roads by installing crosswalk floodlights, speed enforcement cameras within child protection zones, and speed displays, improving the road environment so that residents can travel with peace of mind.

Additionally, to reduce the increasing traffic accidents caused by the habitual use of smartphones, 'ground-level traffic lights' that allow smartphone users to check crosswalk signals within their field of vision will be expanded and installed at locations such as the bus terminal intersection.

A county official stated, “We will continuously expand the installation of facilities that can improve daily life and traffic safety to create a safe walking environment that protects the lives of our residents.”
