Which statement about facilities around which a school zone can be designated is correct?
School zones can be designated not only around kindergartens, elementary schools and special schools but also around daycare centers and private academies above a certain size (Article 12(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Check the size criterion (100 enrolled children or students) and the exception that allows designation even below it (Article 14 of the Enforcement Rule).
Answer: ③
Explanation
Article 12(1) of the Road Traffic Act allows school zones around kindergartens, elementary schools, special schools, and certain daycare centers and academies. Under Article 14 of the Enforcement Rules, the standard for daycare centers is a capacity of 100 or more, but the mayor may, after consulting the police chief, also designate areas around smaller ones when necessary. Academies such as subject-tutoring academies with 100 or more students are also eligible.
