Suwon Establishes 'Comprehensive Traffic Safety Plan'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City has established the 'Suwon City Comprehensive Traffic Safety Plan' with goals including 'reducing traffic accident cases by 30% by 2027.'

The city held a briefing for the Suwon City Comprehensive Traffic Safety Plan (2025-2027) in the main conference room of City Hall on the 4th.

The Suwon City Comprehensive Traffic Safety Plan, which emphasizes three core values of 'people-centered approach, protection of the vulnerable, and sustainable cooperation,' sets the following targets by 2027: △30% reduction in traffic accident fatalities △30% reduction in pedestrian deaths △30% reduction in traffic accident cases.

To realize these goals, the city will pursue key tasks in three areas: △establishing traffic safety culture (expanding safety education, ensuring school route safety, etc.) △creating a safe traffic environment (improving crosswalks, improving accident-prone areas) △building a convenient traffic safety system (expanding smart safety facilities, strengthening PM management, etc.).

From the planning stage, the city made efforts to reflect voices from the field by consulting with the 'Suwon City Safe School Route Development Task Force.'

The briefing was attended by First Vice Mayor Kim Hyun-soo and Suwon City officials, along with representatives from traffic safety-related agencies including Suwon Central, South, and West Police Stations, Suwon Office of Education, Korea Road Traffic Authority, Road Traffic Management Corporation, and Suwon Elementary School Principals Council.

First Vice Mayor Kim Hyun-soo stated, "Traffic safety is a shared social task that can only be achieved through the joint efforts of all institutions," adding "I hope today's briefing becomes a turning point for each institution to establish the foundation for substantive cooperation and create a safe Suwon that citizens can experience."
