Gwangju City Completes Expansion of Safety Facilities for Gwangnam Elementary School Bus Boarding and Alighting Zones

On March 31, Gwangju City in Gyeonggi Province completed an expansion project for safety facilities—including dedicated boarding and alighting zones for school buses, rain shelters, and protective fences—aimed at creating a safe commuting environment for students of Gwangnam Elementary School, and conducted an on-site inspection.

This project was initiated after the need for additional improvements was identified during on-site inspections, following the installation of the school bus boarding and alighting zones last month. The city quickly installed rain shelters and protective fences, reflecting feedback from parents, and reinforced safety throughout the entire process from boarding and alighting to waiting for the students.

In particular, by combining protective fences that physically separate students from vehicles with rain shelters that can respond to various weather conditions, the city strengthened the child protection system and focused on enhancing the overall safety of the school bus environment.

Through this project, Gwangju City established the 'Gwangju School Bus Boarding and Alighting Zone Standard Model,' which integrates waiting spaces and safety facilities, going beyond merely installing boarding and alighting zones.

Mayor Se-hwan Bang stated, "Through this project, we have created a school bus boarding and alighting environment that combines safe waiting areas, physical protection from vehicles, and weather-adaptive facilities." He added, "We will continue to expand the infrastructure for children's commuting safety by renovating outdated facilities around schools and introducing intelligent safety systems."
