Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 7th that it will improve pedestrian safety facilities and unreasonable traffic environments in protection zones where vulnerable road users frequently pass.


The police, together with Incheon City, the Incheon Autonomous Police Committee, and the Road Traffic Authority, plan to enhance the walking environment in children's protection zones (school zones) and install customized facilities on roads with frequent accidents. They also intend to inspect unreasonable signal systems and lanes to reduce the risk of traffic accidents and traffic congestion.

The police will receive suggestions regarding traffic facilities from citizens and police officers who are familiar with local traffic characteristics and reflect them in policies. To this end, in addition to the existing phone lines and the National Petition System, they will operate the 'Traffic Inconvenience Report KakaoTalk Channel' to strengthen communication with citizens and listen to the opinions of on-site police officers through Polmail (police email).


From the 11th to May 9th, over a period of 60 days, the police plan to collect opinions through the KakaoTalk channel 'Incheon Traffic Police,' then supplement the identified issues and prepare improvement measures.



An official from the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency said, "We will actively cooperate with related organizations to continuously seek traffic safety policies," and added, "To create a safe and convenient traffic environment, broad suggestions from citizens and fellow police officers are necessary, so we ask for active participation."
