On the 2nd, the city announced that it will install and pilot rear unmanned traffic enforcement cameras at two child protection zones: Gongjak Intersection in Dunsan-dong, Seo-gu, and Neuriul Intersection in Gwanjeo-dong.

The cameras to be installed in the child protection zones use advanced technology that combines artificial intelligence video analysis and deep learning, enabling simultaneous enforcement of traffic violations by motorcycle riders and tailgating at intersections.

Traffic violations by two-wheeled vehicles in the area have surged, with 3,076 cases in 2019, 8,072 in 2020, 15,807 in 2021, and 22,201 in 2022.

Additionally, tailgating at major intersections remains prevalent, continuously causing complaints due to traffic congestion.

However, the currently installed and operated unmanned enforcement equipment only recognizes and enforces front license plates of vehicles, limiting its ability to crack down on motorcycle violations and tailgating at intersections.

The pilot installation and operation of rear unmanned enforcement cameras is being promoted to address these limitations and enhance enforcement effectiveness.

The city plans to analyze the effectiveness in cooperation with the National Police Agency based on the pilot operation results and consider expanding the installation of rear unmanned enforcement cameras.

Ko Hyun-deok, Director of the Transportation and Construction Bureau of the city, said, “The installation of rear unmanned traffic enforcement cameras is expected to be significantly effective in eliminating tricks such as speeding up again after passing speed enforcement zones and motorcycle violations that were blind spots in enforcement.” He added, “In particular, the city plans to strengthen collaboration with the Daejeon Police Agency to prevent the recurrence of drunk driving traffic accidents recently occurring in child protection zones.”
