In 2019, a child's death in Korea led to legislation that imposed stricter penalties for school zone traffic violations. We assessed the impact of that legislation using 2017-2022 Traffic Accident Analysis System data. Adjusted analyses revealed a significant decline in severe injuries in school zones, decreasing from 11 cases to 8 cases per month (p=0.017). The legislation correlated with a reduced risk of all child traffic injuries (risk ratio, 0.987; 95% confidence interval, 0.977 to 0.997; p=0.002), indicating its efficacy in curbing accidents.
2019 年，韩国一名儿童死亡事件导致立法对学校区域交通违法行为实施更严厉的处罚。我们使用 2017-2022 年交通事故分析系统数据评估了该立法的影响。调整后的分析显示，学校区域严重伤害显著下降，每月从 11 例降至 8 例（p=0.017）。该立法与所有儿童交通伤害风险降低相关（风险比，0.987；95%置信区间，0.977 至 0.997；p=0.002），表明其在遏制事故方面的有效性。
