Ministry of Interior and Safety to Hold 'Pedestrian Safety Week' Nov. 9-13, Launch Nationwide Campaigns
A dedicated nationwide public-awareness week will be held to foster a safe, pedestrian-centered traffic culture and raise safety awareness in everyday life.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety will hold Pedestrian Safety Week for five days, from November 9 to 13, to mark Pedestrian Day on November 11, and conduct nationwide awareness campaigns.
During Pedestrian Safety Week, the ministry will work with local governments across the country to hold on-site campaigns, screen promotional videos, run online quiz events, and organize workshops for officials in charge.
On the first day, November 9, the ministry, Seongnam City, Seongnam Jungwon Police Station, and private organizations will jointly hold a pedestrian safety campaign near Moran Folk 5-Day Market in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.
On-site activities will include a pedestrian crossing experience, a pedestrian safety quiz, and safety pledges, along with the distribution of promotional items. Kim Gwangyong, head of the Disaster and Safety Management Headquarters at the ministry, will tour the promotional booths and then join citizens in a street march, carrying flags and placards bearing pedestrian safety messages.
Local governments across the country will also run campaigns tailored to local conditions to promote pedestrian safety rules. They will screen promotional videos through media close to everyday life, including railway stations, local government electronic displays, and media boards in apartment elevators, and will also hold online quiz events.
On November 11, Pedestrian Day, the ministry will hold a workshop for pedestrian safety officials from local governments nationwide. Participants will share the direction of pedestrian safety policy, hear presentations on best practices and a special lecture by an expert, and take a field trip.
