Yeosu Police Conduct Visiting Traffic Safety Education for the Elderly

Delivery of Luminous Canes and Wet Wipes to Prevent Traffic Accidents Among the Elderly

[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] The Yeosu Police Station in Jeollanam-do (Chief Jung Seong-rok) visited the Mipyeong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center in Mipyeong-dong on the 7th and conducted on-site traffic safety education for about 130 participants in the senior job and social activity support project.

During the education, contents such as "No jaywalking" and "Three principles of pedestrian safety" were taught using videos to promote safe walking and bicycle safety driving methods, raising awareness about traffic accidents.

In particular, since traffic accidents caused by violations of safety driving obligations for agricultural machinery and motorcycles, as well as signal violations at crosswalks, account for a large proportion, printed guides and promotional items (reflective canes and wet tissues) with safe driving and walking methods were distributed, explaining traffic accident prevention methods and urging caution.

Chief Jung Seong-rok of Yeosu Police Station stated, "As social distancing measures have been fully lifted, leading to increased activity levels, the risk of traffic accidents among the elderly is expected to rise. Therefore, we will continuously conduct safety education and make every effort to prevent traffic accidents."
