The National Diet Act, which strengthened the crackdown and punishment of so-called school zone child traffic accidents, passed the National Assembly.

Reporter Hong Young-jae reported how much changed after passing the law and what to watch out for even before the law enforcement.

The day after the passage of the Civil Code, which strengthened the school zone's punishment, it is a way to go to Han Elementary School in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.

Even in front of the main entrance, you can easily see cars exceeding 30 km / h.

Children rush back from school cars trying to make U-turns, and often pass between cars that have invaded more than half the crosswalk.

Parents complain that there are many roads without traffic lights around the school and accidents occur frequently.

[Elementary School Parents: I've seen (accident) twice. The kids don't cross the pedestrian crossing because they don't see it. (He's) Fly away… .]

The road in front of the elementary school is an unprotected left turn area, and the road that runs perpendicular to this road has no traffic lights.

In particular, there are no traffic safety personnel on the roads.

Parents complained to local governments to install traffic lights but were suspended.

[Complaint Parents: No traffic lights and left unprotected (left turn) or should I improve? Then I will pass the civil law. .]

Enforcement of the Folk Diet Act should be implemented early next spring, and active measures must be taken to ensure the safety of children even before the law is enforced.
