Gangdong-gu Operates Safety Guardians in High-Risk Areas for Child Traffic Accidents
Gangdong-gu Safety Keepers Begin Second Half Pre-Safety Training Starting August 22... 30 Safety Keepers Deployed and Operated in 30 High Traffic Accident Areas with 2 or More Incidents
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Soo-hee) will start the 'Children Traffic Accident Frequent Area Safety Keeper' activities from August 22nd to coincide with the start of the school semester.
The 'Children Traffic Accident Frequent Area Safety Keeper' project investigates the number of pedestrian traffic accidents involving children within 300 meters of elementary schools in the area through the Traffic Accident Analysis System (TAAS), and deploys and operates safety keepers in areas with frequent child traffic accidents.
Gangdong-gu is the first local government to directly hire personnel dedicated to traffic guidance during dismissal hours to ensure the safety of children on their way home from school.
Last year, as a pilot project, 14 safety keepers were deployed and operated in 14 zones where four or more child traffic accidents occurred. This year, the scope has been expanded to zones with two or more accidents, deploying and operating 30 safety keepers in 30 locations.
The expanded safety keepers completed their first half activities from March 2nd to July 20th, and are preparing to resume operations in line with the second semester opening by taking pre-safety education on traffic guidance methods and precautions during activities. The second half safety keeper operation period is from August 22nd to December 20th, with activity hours from 1 PM to 3 PM.
