Promotional materials were distributed to students and residents to encourage compliance with traffic laws and to raise safety awareness, with a focus on pedestrian safety rules and the obligation for drivers to make a complete stop at crosswalks in children's protection zones.

Mayor Jeong Jongbok said, "I hope this campaign serves as an opportunity for citizens to recognize the importance of public transportation," and added, "We will support the establishment of a more mature traffic culture through promoting public transportation use and traffic safety practices."
