On the 26th, Naseong-dong, Sejong Special Self-Governing City, launched a campaign to improve traffic safety awareness with residents. This campaign was carried out with the participation of professional organizations such as Naseong-dong Community Council, Resident Autonomy Council, and Autonomous Fire Prevention Foundation, with the goal of creating a safe school route for children.
In this campaign, which was implemented to coincide with the start of the new school year, about 20 participants carried out activities on the theme of ‘Stop at the crosswalk when making a right turn’, focusing on the main school routes from the Naseong-dong Complex Community Center to Naseong Elementary School. The campaign participants used signs and banners they made themselves to promote the importance of stopping to drivers and emphasized the importance of safe driving.
