This project was initiated after a demand survey for the "2025 Children's Protection Zone Improvement Project," which selected Ungdong Elementary School and seven other locations for implementation. The improvement project includes installing start and end road markings, yellow crosswalks, and protective fences to help drivers easily recognize and pay attention to children's protection zones. It also involves upgrading sidewalk blocks and creating drop-off spaces for school vehicles to enhance pedestrian safety.

In the first half of this year, Jinhae District secured a special disaster safety management grant of 900 million won and completed school route improvement projects for Dongbu Elementary School (300 million won) and Pung-ho Elementary School (600 million won).

For the second half, the district has secured a budget of 860 million won and plans to carry out projects such as sidewalk maintenance, installation of traffic safety facilities, and fences at Ungdong Elementary School and seven other locations. The goal is to complete construction within the year, creating a safe environment for students to commute to school.
