Councilor Kim stated, “In the 2022 national basic local government traffic safety index results, Seo-gu ranked 60th out of 69 autonomous districts nationwide, and especially the traffic safety index for vulnerable groups (children, elderly) was ranked 62nd, remaining in the lower tier. We will continue to do our best to improve children's traffic safety.”
