Gwangju Seo-gu, Maintenance of 'Child Protection Zone Facilities' for Accident Prevention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) is promoting the maintenance of facilities within school zones to prevent children's safety accidents and create a safe walking environment.

According to Seo-gu on the 24th, the maintenance targets a total of 54 locations where facilities causing confusion for drivers, such as inconsistent integrated signs and speed limits, and non-compliance with school zone guidelines, are installed, potentially leading to traffic accidents.

Seo-gu plans to prioritize maintenance at 25 elementary school zones, including Juwol Elementary School, by the end of next month, and secure additional budget to complete maintenance of remaining sites such as kindergarten and daycare center school zones by the first half of next year.

A Seo-gu official stated, "Through this project for systematic management of school zones, we will do our best to raise drivers' awareness of cautious driving within school zones and create a walking environment where pedestrians can walk safely."

He added, "We ask residents for their interest and active participation in complying with the regulated speed limits and refraining from illegal parking within school zones following the amendment and enforcement of the Road Traffic Act."
