The district unit held the campaign on the morning of the 22nd at 10 a.m. at Jinyeong Rest Area on the Namhae Expressway heading toward Suncheon, together with the Korea Expressway Corporation Busan-Gyeongnam Headquarters and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority.

They carried out activities including ▲guidance for drivers to wear seat belts in all seats ▲requesting evacuation off the road to prevent secondary accidents ▲distribution of traffic safety promotional materials such as flare signals.
