Baek Seong-hyun, Nonsan Mayor, "Traffic Signal Authority Should Be Expanded to Autonomous Crime Prevention Teams"

Chungnam Mayors and County Governors Association Proposes Simplification of Administrative Procedures for Youth Entrepreneur Farmers' Farmland Bank

Baek Seong-hyun, Nonsan Mayor

Baek Seong-hyun, mayor of Nonsan City, Chungnam Province, stated that the subjects authorized to direct traffic signals at construction sites and local events should be "expanded to include autonomous crime prevention squads and citizen police."

At the Chungnam Mayors and County Governors Council held on the 31st of last month at Boryeong Mud Theme Park in Boryeong City, Mayor Baek said, "There is a shortage of traffic control personnel during large-scale events because volunteer traffic controllers lack legal authority."

The Road Traffic Act limits the authority to direct traffic signals to the police and police assistants known as exemplary drivers.

As a result, the safety of tourists and citizens during local events is being threatened.

In addition, Mayor Baek proposed the unification of the lease contract and facility installation approval procedures for farmland banks for young startup farmers.

Under current law, when leasing farmland owned by the Korea Rural Community Corporation and installing additional agricultural facilities, separate approval procedures are required.

Mayor Baek said, "To resolve the inconveniences faced by the increasing number of young startup farmers each year and to ensure their stable settlement, the approval process for farmland bank lease contracts should be unified."
