In this field survey, the designated and operated children's protection zones in the jurisdiction were targeted for △ traffic accident status analysis △ protection zone facilities △ traffic volume survey △ compliance review of facility regulations △ problem diagnosis and improvement plan review.

Based on this project, the city thoroughly investigated various elements such as traffic safety facilities, signboards, and road pavement within the protection zones to create a safe commuting environment for children.

Through this final report meeting, the city plans to gradually supplement and strengthen safety infrastructure within children's protection zones starting from the first half of 2025.

The city will immediately improve issues arising from the field survey and establish a children's protection zone improvement plan for medium- and long-term improvements, gathering opinions from local residents, schools, and the police to create a safe walking environment.

Joo Si-woon, Director of the Transportation Bureau, said, "Providing an environment where children can commute safely is the top priority," adding, "We will thoroughly improve the problems identified in this field survey to make Goyang City a place where children can walk with peace of mind."

Goyang Special City will continue to regularly inspect, maintain, and expand children's protection zones to ensure thorough prevention of children's traffic accidents.
