Previously, the district selected four new installation sites after conducting field surveys and considering factors such as resident complaints, the safety of school routes, and the frequency of speeding complaints. The district plans to provide information on these changes through an administrative notice from the Seoul Metropolitan Government next month, begin full-scale construction, and complete the installations sequentially by July.

According to the district, the enforcement equipment will be installed at the following locations: 57-7 Sadang-ro 23-gil (next to Namseong Elementary School), 9 Yeouidaebang-ro 44-gil (near Singil Elementary School), 73 Hyeonchung-ro (in front of Heukseok Elementary School), and 27 Heukseokhangang-ro (toward the public Geunbyeol Daycare Center).

The enforcement directions by section are: from Samsung Raemian Apartment to Namseong Elementary School Intersection, from Daerim Shopping Town to Sungui Girls' Middle School, from Heukseok Station to Nodeul Station, and from Cheongho Apartment toward Geunbyeol Daycare Center. The speed limit will be set at 50 km/h in front of Heukseok Elementary School, and at 30 km/h in the other sections.

The district will operate fixed enforcement equipment equipped with rear license plate recognition technology, aiming to detect not only speeding and signal violations by cars and motorcycles, but also cases of not wearing safety helmets.

District Mayor Park Ilha stated, "We have promoted the installation of unmanned traffic enforcement equipment, focusing on accident-prone and high-complaint areas, to strengthen traffic safety in child protection zones," adding, "We will do our utmost to ensure the safety of vulnerable road users, including children, through thorough enforcement."
