Daejeon City announced that it has secured 400 million won in national funds to actively promote a maintenance project for traffic accident prevention, aiming to ensure the safety of transportation-vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.

The city plans to invest 320 million won in the "Safe School Route Project for Children Protection Zones" to improve the school route environment in Dong-gu, Jung-gu, Yuseong-gu, and Daedeok-gu. The project will include sidewalk maintenance, installation of safety fences, and upgrades to speed control facilities, creating a safer commuting environment for children going to and from school.

In addition, 80 million won will be allocated to the "Elderly Traffic Accident Hotspot Maintenance Project" in Seo-gu to improve the walking environment for senior citizens. The project will involve maintenance of road markings, installation of bollards, and application of floor coating materials.

Nam Sideok, Director of the Daejeon City Transportation Bureau, stated, "Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to traffic accidents, and this maintenance project is an important measure to protect their lives and safety." He added, "Starting in June, we will gradually implement the project in earnest to create a traffic safety environment that citizens can truly experience."
