They also distributed traffic safety promotional items to children on their way to school, emphasized safety rules, and urged drivers to observe speed limits and drive safely within children's protection zones.

An official from Yeongju City stated, "As social interest in safety has increased, we hope all members of society will raise their awareness of traffic safety so that all citizens of Yeongju, including children, can be safe from traffic accidents."

The city is taking the lead in creating a safe commuting environment by deploying 32 traffic safety guardians intensively at 12 local elementary schools to strengthen crackdowns on illegal parking and traffic guidance around school routes. In addition, the city is making every effort to establish advanced traffic culture and infrastructure by improving children's and senior citizens' protection zones and installing traffic safety facilities.
