[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] The Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs (TIPA) conducted a safety campaign to improve children's traffic safety and driver awareness.

This campaign, held in collaboration with the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development, was conducted ahead of the 2nd anniversary of the enforcement of the Road Traffic Act amendment known as the Min-sik Act and the expiration of the grace period for enforcement of the stop requirement for right turns by drivers.

On the 15th, the two organizations installed yellow footprints at two child protection zones near Jiphyeon Elementary School and Bangok Elementary School, where there is heavy child pedestrian traffic and safety concerns near their office building, encouraging drivers to come to a complete stop when making right turns.

Lee Jae-hong, Director of TIPA, said, "This activity was conducted not just temporarily but to enable both child pedestrians and drivers to voluntarily comply with traffic regulations in their daily lives," adding, "We will continue to seek various ways to contribute sustainably and effectively to the local community."
