This campaign was carried out in collaboration with related organizations, including the Gwangju Police Station, Gwangju Hanam Office of Education, Gwangju City Green Mothers Association, and Gwangju City Model Drivers Association. It was organized to prevent pedestrian traffic accidents involving children and to create a safe environment for students on their way to school.

In particular, the campaign focused on promoting the "Stop First" initiative, which emphasizes that drivers must come to a complete stop at crosswalks within school zones to ensure children can cross safely. The campaign also highlighted the importance of improving traffic safety awareness.

Additionally, the campaign actively informed both drivers and students about key traffic safety rules, including adhering to speed limits within school zones, prohibiting illegal parking and stopping, banning jaywalking, and looking both ways before crossing at crosswalks.

Mayor Bang Se-hwan expressed his gratitude, saying, "I would like to thank the members of the Green Mothers Association and all related organizations for participating in this campaign. The city will do its utmost to improve traffic safety environments in school zones so that adults lead by example in following traffic laws and a culture that prioritizes children's safety can take root."
