On the 30th, the Korea Road Transport Corporation announced, ``Over the past year, we have carried out improvement projects for 264 areas where traffic accidents occur frequently among national roads, city/county roads, and local roads across the country. and
"Compared to this, the number of fatalities decreased by 52.7%, and the number of traffic accidents resulting in human loss decreased by 35.0%." Under the jurisdiction of the National Affairs Coordination Office, the Japan Road Transport Corporation conducts "communications" with related ministries and agencies such as the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and the National Police Agency.
We are promoting a project to improve areas where many traffic accidents occur. The Japan Road Transport Corporation has built a management system for areas where traffic accidents occur frequently based on the National Police Agency's traffic accident statistics, and prioritizes traffic accidents based on their severity.
Based on this, 416 locations nationwide are selected for basic design every year, and customized improvement measures are developed through analysis of problems.
In addition, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Ministry of Administrative Safety, etc. are spending approximately 42 billion won in national and local funds (approx.
4.65 billion yen) to promote improvements to the road environment based on custom-made improvement measures established by the Japan Road Transport Corporation.
Seo Beom-gyu, head of the Traffic Safety Headquarters of the Japan Road Transport Corporation, said, ``In areas where many traffic accidents occur,
By promoting custom-made improvement measures such as improving irrational traffic patterns and eliminating blind spots for traffic accidents, we will do our best to protect the precious lives of the people from traffic accidents and create a safe road environment.
I will do my best," he said.
