Yong-in Mayor Lee Sang-il Participates in Traffic Safety Guidance Volunteer Service in front of Hyunam Elementary School in Suji District

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Mayor Lee Sang-il of Yong-in Special Status City participated in traffic safety guidance volunteer service at the crosswalk at the intersection in front of Hyunam Elementary School on Daejiro, Suji District on the morning of the 12th, monitoring children's morning commute routes.

Approximately 30 people participated in today's volunteer activity, including Mayor Lee Sang-il, Hyunam Elementary School Principal Jeong Gap-su, members of the Green Mothers Association, parent association members, and students. Together with traffic safety guidance, a campaign was conducted to prevent traffic accidents and create safe school routes.

Mayor Lee encouraged members of the Green Mothers Association and parent association at the traffic safety guidance site and personally directed traffic to ensure children could safely cross the crosswalk.

As Mayor Lee inspected various sections of Hyunam Elementary's school route, he instructed city officials to review areas requiring improvement such as installation of salt spray devices in steep sections, creation of raised crosswalks, repairs to damaged sidewalks, and repainting of child protection zones.

Mayor Lee stated, "I believe the Green Mothers Association members and parents responsible for traffic guidance at Hyunam Elementary School are making great efforts, as the access route to the main gate is long and there are many crosswalks that need monitoring," and added, "From what I observed at the site today, there appear to be areas on the school route that need improvement, so I instructed them to seek improvement measures. We will continue to maintain and improve related facilities so that elementary, middle, and high school students can commute to and from school more safely."

Mayor Lee plans to continue traffic safety guidance and campaigns at Jeil Elementary School in Yangji-myeon, Cheogin District on September 23rd, and at Songjeon Elementary, Daecheong Elementary, and Yong-in Sinchon Elementary schools in October.
