The "Visiting Traffic Safety Classroom" is a customized traffic safety education program carried out in cooperation with the Busan branch of the Korea Road Traffic Authority.

Since launching the traffic safety classroom for children in 2022, the county has expanded its target audience by also implementing the "Visiting Senior Traffic Safety Classroom" since last year.

Professional instructors visit locations that are convenient and accessible for traffic-vulnerable groups such as children and seniors, including daycare centers, kindergartens, elementary schools, and senior welfare centers, to provide education. The main topics include proper crosswalk usage, pedestrian protection obligations, and examples of dangerous situations and accidents while walking.

The program is offered throughout the year based on requests and preferred dates from interested institutions. For education applications or other related inquiries, please contact the Traffic Administration Division.

County Governor Jeong Jongbok stated, "We will continue to promote traffic safety education support projects to protect traffic-vulnerable groups, including children and seniors."
