Second Enforcement Operation by Mobile Inspection Team on Regulatory Violations Conducted

The Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency's Mobile Enforcement Team will conduct a second crackdown on violations of traffic regulations in school zones near elementary schools from the 20th to the 28th of this month.

According to the provincial police agency, the mobile enforcement team is composed of an undercover patrol team and a traffic motorcycle team (traffic police motorcycle unit).

The enforcement team will focus its activities on high-risk accident areas selected from elementary schools in urban areas where accidents have occurred this year, including Masan East, Masan West, Jinju, Gimhae Central, Yangsan, and Tongyeong, based on traffic volume and reports of violations.

They plan to crack down on violations such as drunk driving, signal violations by buses, large freight vehicles, motorcycles, and violations of pedestrian protection.

Local police stations will deploy personnel from the education office, schools, Green Mothers' Association, and Model Drivers' Association during school commute times before vacations and during the high-accident period from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. to simultaneously carry out activities to protect child pedestrians on site.

A representative of the provincial police agency stated, “We will continuously promote and enforce safe traffic culture, including drivers' compliance with traffic laws and slow driving, so that children can walk safely with peace of mind.”
