During this period, the city will remove illegal advertisements that obstruct pedestrian and vehicle traffic and impose administrative penalties such as fines. In addition, it will intensively crack down on harmful advertisements containing provocative content.

The main inspection targets are illegal and old signs, as well as movable advertisements such as signboards, banners, posters, and flyers located around kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools, child protection zones, and educational environment protection zones. Even areas outside the inspection targets but frequently used by students have been included in the cleanup to create a safe commuting environment.

A city official stated, "We will proceed with administrative actions and removals to prevent accidents caused by banners or signs obstructing the view of pedestrians and drivers." He added, "We will continue to improve hazardous factors around schools to ensure a safe commuting environment for students."
