On highways, traffic accidents have been increasing in line with the rise in large bus traffic volume. Recently, an accident occurred on a highway where a passenger was ejected from a large bus in operation and sustained injuries.

Accordingly, the 12th District Unit and related agencies focused on cracking down on ▲traffic law violations (such as not wearing seat belts, drunk driving, and lane violations) ▲safety standard violations ▲illegal structural modifications (speed limiters) ▲vehicle operation records (non-compliance with rest periods), among others.

In addition, enforcement and promotional activities were conducted targeting large freight trucks parked at rest areas, including distribution of traffic safety leaflets and traffic safety supplies related to violations such as lane designation infringements. Moving forward, the police plan to strengthen joint crackdowns at highway entrances and other locations two to three times a month or more.

Chief Im Taek of the 12th District Unit stated, “Through joint crackdowns with related agencies, we inspected the risks associated with large buses and large freight trucks, and by selecting enforcement activities suited to highway conditions, we will continue to conduct ongoing joint crackdowns.”
