After completing the first round of study meetings in the four regions, Solomon plans to carry out research projects by region.

This year's research projects include ▲ creating and utilizing checklists for on-site inspections of traffic safety facilities ▲ analyzing the effect of accident reduction following the installation of backplates on traffic signals ▲ expanding diagonal crosswalks within protected zones ▲ major complaints and difficulties related to traffic facility complaints handled through the National Petition System.

In addition to discussing research projects, each meeting spent time reviewing signal systems and understanding related regulations to install right-turn signals and diagonal crosswalks for pedestrian safety.

They also studied key points such as the installation of yellow crosswalks in school zones following amendments to the Road Traffic Act and shared difficulties and collaboration methods when consulting with related agencies.

Kim Hyun-sik, head of the Traffic Division, said, “This research meeting, which organically connects traffic and frequently shares tasks with adjacent stations to strengthen expertise, is truly a meaningful occasion,” adding, “We hope it will play a central role in preventing traffic accidents by improving the traffic environment suited to the conditions of the Gyeongnam region.”
