전북경찰청이 개학철을 맞아 2월 26일부터 4월 26일까지 어린이 교통안전 대책을 중점 추진한 결과, 어린이보호구역 내에서 발생한 교통사고가 지난해 대비 57.1% 감소한 것으로 집계됐다.

이처럼 스쿨존 교통사고가 감소한 것은 초등학교 등 201개소의 어린이 활동이 많은 등ㆍ하교 시가대를 중심으로 교통경찰 및 모범운전자와 녹색어머니 등 지도인력을 집중 배치(누계 5,593명)해 교통사고 예방활동을 강화했기 때문으로 분석됐다.

특히 어린이의 안전한 교통환경을 조성하기 위해 어린이보호구역 주변 ▲ 신호위반 ▲ 보행자보호의무위반 등 교통법규 위반 행위 302을 단속했다.

또, 교육청ㆍ지자체ㆍ한국교통안전공단 등 유관기관과 합동으로 어린이통학버스 1,217대를 점검, 신고서 미비치 등 총 111건의 경미한 사항도 적발해 계도 조치했다.

또한 지난 3월 7일 전주 효천초등학교 정문 앞에서 전북경찰청ㆍ전주 완산경찰서ㆍ녹색어머니회ㆍ모범운전자회 등 50여명이 참석한 가운데 실시한 캠페인을 시작으로 1356회 '어린이 교통안전 합동캠페인'을 통해 어린이의 올바른 보행 습관과 운전자의 안전운전 인식 공감대 역시 조성했다.

임병숙(치안감) 전북경찰청장은 "도민들의 관심 덕분에 올 2월~4월 도내 어린이보호구역에서 발생한 교통사고는 6건으로 전년 동기 14건에 대비 57.1% 감소했다"며 "등ㆍ하굣길 교통경찰 활동과 단속ㆍ홍보ㆍ교통안전시설 개선 등을 지속할 방침"이라고 밝혔다.

그러면서 "스쿨존은 최소한의 어린이 교통안전구역임에도 불구하고 교통안전사고가 잇따르고 있는 현실"이라며 "아이들의 안전이 곧 어른들의 행복이라는 점을 명심해 어린이 중심의 교통문화 기조 및 교통사고로부터 보다 더 안전하고 평온한 일상이 이어질 수 있도록 법규준수를 당부한다"고 덧붙였다.

As a result of the Jeonbuk Police Agency focusing on children's traffic safety measures from February 26 to April 26 in celebration of the school opening season, traffic accidents that occurred within children's protection zones were calculated to have decreased by 57.1% compared to last year.

The reason for this decrease in traffic accidents is that traffic accident prevention activities were strengthened by intensively deploying guidance personnel such as traffic police, model drivers, and green mothers to 201 elementary schools and other places during the school arrival and dismissal times when children are most active (total of 5,593 people). was analyzed.

In particular, in order to create a safe traffic environment for children, 302 traffic law violations were cracked down around child protection zones, including traffic signal violations and pedestrian protection obligations.

In addition, starting with a campaign held on March 7th in front of the main gate of Jeonju Hyocheon Elementary School with the attendance of about 50 people including Jeonbuk Police Agency, Jeonju Wansan Police Station, Green Mothers Association, and Model Drivers Association, a total of 135 'Children's Traffic Safety Joint Campaigns' were held to protect children's safety. We also created a consensus on correct walking habits and drivers' awareness of safe driving.

Lim Byeong-sook(Chief of Public Safety), Chief of the Jeonbuk Police Agency, said, "Thanks to the interest of the residents, the number of traffic accidents that occurred in child protection zones in the province from January to April this year was 6, a decrease of 57.1% compared to 14 in the same period last year." He added, "Traffic police activities on the way to and from school. We plan to continue crackdown, publicity, and improvement of traffic safety facilities," he said.
