Seoul City Launches 'Children's School Commute Safety Guardians' Program
Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Inspection and Reporting on Elementary Students' Commute to School
Seoul City announced on the 12th that it will launch the ‘Children’s School Commute Safety Guardians’ project to ensure traffic and pedestrian safety for elementary school children on their way to and from school.
The ‘Children’s School Commute Safety Guardians’ work in cooperation with the volunteer organization ‘Sarangsil-eun Traffic Volunteer Corps,’ which has about 15,000 members nationwide, including taxi drivers. They are responsible for inspecting traffic and pedestrian hazards near elementary schools. Upon identifying hazards such as damaged roads or sidewalks, malfunctioning traffic lights, or icy conditions, they immediately report them through Seoul City’s Response Center, Seoul Smart Complaint System, and Safety Report System to ensure prompt improvements.
Before starting full-scale activities, Seoul City presented appointment certificates and member IDs to 35 active members of the ‘Children’s School Commute Safety Guardians’ on the 6th, and activities will commence from the 14th. The ‘Children’s School Commute Safety Guardians’ will conduct regular and ad-hoc inspections targeting school zones around a total of 609 elementary schools across 25 autonomous districts.
Additionally, Seoul City operates the experiential safety education program ‘Visiting Children’s Safety Experience Classroom,’ which teaches children how to protect themselves in dangerous situations to prevent accidents and improve their response capabilities. This year, 18,802 children participated in the safety experience education.
