Gyeonggi Province will conduct a joint inspection of illegal advertisements around schools until the 19th to create a safe commuting environment for students as the new school term begins.
On the 11th, Gyeonggi Province announced that four areas?Anseong, Uiwang, Icheon, and Yangju?will carry out self-inspections along with joint inspections by Gyeonggi Province, while the remaining cities and counties will conduct self-inspections of illegal advertisements.
The main inspection items include ▲posters and banners around schools ▲illegal signboards ▲flyers and other illegal advertisements that may obstruct students' passage or compromise safety.
