Traffic Facilities Reinforced at Park Ji-sung Road Accident Site and Other Locations

Suwon City announced on the 10th that it is conducting a road traffic improvement project to reinforce traffic safety facilities at fatal accident sites and accident-prone areas.

Since late last month, the city has been investing 160 million won to strengthen traffic safety facilities at seven locations, including the T-junction entrance to Park Ji-sung Road where a fatal accident occurred, in front of Ipbuk Elementary School, at Seonggyungwan University T-junction, in front of Chowon Daewoo Apartment, in front of Songjeong Elementary School, in front of Samsung Raemian Apartment in Cheoncheon-dong, and in front of Samik Apartment in Homaesil-dong.

At the T-junction entrance to Park Ji-sung Road, anti-skid pavement is being installed to prevent vehicles from speeding, and vehicle signal lights are being installed in front of Ipbuk Elementary School and Songjeong Elementary School to ensure pedestrian safety for commuting students.

The city plans to complete the improvement project by the end of this month, and will then select additional areas with high citizen traffic complaints and high accident risk to continue reinforcing traffic safety facilities.
