I had to wipe my heart out at the grandmother who was crossing the road without permission when the driver, who was running on the 8-lane round-trip road, crawled under the median.
It is an 8-lane road for a round trip in Incheon on the 11th.
An old woman crossing with a wheeled bag trespassing when the median appears, she kneels on the floor and crawls out.
The grandmother who got up slowly disappeared across the road without paying attention to the cars passing by at high speed.
A traffic expert who saw the video emphasized that the more dangerous thing than jumping over the median is coming down, and that it would be a really dangerous situation if it was dark at night.
At the same time, some elderly people have leg pain and it is difficult to get to the crosswalk, so there are cases where they cross the road without permission.
Also, if you are caught trespassing like this, you may be fined 20,000 won.

It looks really dangerous, but looking at some data, it is said that 4 out of 10 traffic accident deaths from 2018 to last year were elderly people over the age of 65.
And now, about half of those pedestrians are pedestrian accidents, that is, about half of the elderly people crossing the road now have an accident and died. I wonder if complacency can lead to this kind of result.

I want you to think about safety first.
You seem to be thinking about going a little faster or reducing the distance you walk because your legs hurt, but I want you to put safety first.

Also, I think it is the role of our government to expand traffic safety facilities for the elderly.
