norms, the government should actively pursue measures if a person's life is exposed to risks in daily life over a long period of time, resulting in death or irreversible health damage. In the child protection zone, the areas surrounding schools were improved so that drivers could easily recognize small children372) Then, the areas where elderly traffic accidents are common should consider the characteristics of the elderly, who have slow walking speed and reduced reaction ability due to deterioration in physical ability. In other words, there is a significant need to analyze the main triggering behaviors of elderly traffic accidents, identify their causes, and suggest measures to prevent traffic accidents. Therefore, the government regularly announcing measures against traffic accidents involving the elderly and the National Assembly preparing regulations to solve the problem of traffic accidents involving the elderly through legislation are proper efforts. However, these legislative and administrative measures need to be taken regularly and continuously, as well as conducting on-site fact-finding surveys in the areas where elderly traffic accidents are common. With the amended Road Traffic Act, it is necessary for the local governments to actively designate roads in residential and commercial areas with a lot of elderly pedestrian traffic as elderly protection zones, and install safety facilities, including unmanned traffic enforcement equipment, smart crosswalks for elderly pedestrians, safety fences, and walking islands, etc. To this end, legislative and budgetary considerations should be accompanied as well, such as setting speed limit to 30 km or less, priority installation of traffic safety facilities and equipment, or mandating installation, etc. In addition, it is essential to strengthen the education for the drivers about the elderly pedestrians. In order to prevent accidents of elderly pedestrians, it is necessary for drivers to understand the characteristics of the elderly pedestrians. The development and installation of effective information signs and publicity measures should be considered so that the drivers can understand the characteristics of elderly pedestrians and prevent accidents. 372) In fact, according to the National Statistics Portal (KOSIS), the number of traffic accidents involving the elderly aged 65 and over increased by 33.3% from 26,483 to 35,312 between 2011 and 2020, but the traffic accidents involving children under the age of 12 decreased by 37.0% from 13,323 to 8,400 during the same period. This seems to be the effect of various policies such as expanding child protection zones and strengthening punishment. 158
