The locations of the signboards are ▲near the indoor gymnasium intersection of Yongma Elementary School ▲back gate of Yongin Elementary School ▲Yongin Elementary School three-way intersection ▲entrance three-way intersection of Eojeong Elementary School ▲Eojeong Intersection ▲main gate intersection of Mabuk Elementary School ▲Sinri Elementary School three-way intersection ▲Songok Children's Park ▲Hanbit Elementary School three-way intersection. The city explained that the signboard installations prioritized places where it is difficult for children and students on school routes and drivers to secure visibility when making right turns.

The signboards display pedestrian crossing footage and cautionary messages when pedestrians or vehicles are detected on the right side. In particular, the signboards provide clear information to drivers by showing real-time video footage of situations that are difficult to express with simple text and pictogram images.

A city official said, "We expect that the installation of the guidance signboards will help drivers anticipate sudden situations and prevent accidents," adding, "We plan to actively introduce advanced traffic safety facilities to ensure the safety of vulnerable road users in the future."
