Governor Park said, “We must eradicate the practices that threaten children’s safety and ignore safety, and establish a traffic culture that prioritizes children’s walking. We will work harder to make Gyeongnam a place where children can be completely safe from traffic accidents.”

Gyeongnam Province is strengthening traffic safety education and promotion campaigns to ensure children’s safe routes to school and prevent traffic accidents, while expanding traffic safety facilities such as smart safety devices, protective fences, and yellow crosswalks.
