The training, which targeted over 100 participants including seniors and life support workers, was conducted in conjunction with the Masan Dongbu Police Station's traffic safety education. It explained traffic accident cases and prevention methods, providing a customized program for seniors.

In particular, the program focused on raising awareness of traffic safety in an engaging way by presenting essential traffic safety rules through real-life examples, such as: ▲ Senior pedestrian accident safety education ▲ Pedestrian and driver traffic safety guidelines ▲ Temporary stop at crosswalks when turning right. Additionally, this education was further reinforced by life support workers, who delivered the training to over 700 seniors, making it even more effective.

Furthermore, the city shared various policies to improve transportation convenience for citizens, such as a voluntary driver's license return support program for elderly drivers and a city bus fare support program to reduce the burden of using public transportation.

Lee Jonggeun, Director of the Transportation and Construction Bureau, said, "To create a safe traffic environment, the interest and practice of both drivers and pedestrians are important," adding, "We will actively work to prevent traffic accidents involving seniors, who are transportation-vulnerable, through region-specific visiting traffic safety education."
