Which of the following statements about silver zones and disabled protection zones is correct?
For silver zones and disabled protection zones, the key points are which facilities each can be designated around and what measures, including restricting or banning traffic, the mayor or other authority can take (Article 12-2 of the Road Traffic Act). Drivers also have a duty to pay attention to safety, separate from following those measures.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 12-2(1) of the Road Traffic Act, roads around welfare facilities for persons with disabilities may be designated as disabled protection zones, and roads around senior welfare facilities, urban parks, community sports facilities and the like as silver zones, with measures that restrict or prohibit vehicle traffic. Paragraph (3) requires drivers to follow those measures while paying attention to the safety of seniors and persons with disabilities. So saying traffic cannot be restricted, limiting zones to senior welfare facilities, or that following the measures alone is enough, are all wrong.
