What does the following safety sign mean?
The protection signs for elderly persons, children, and disabled persons look alike and are told apart by their symbols and words (Annex 6 of the Enforcement Rule). It is easy to mistake a wheelchair symbol for a parking notice, so be sure to read the words, and remember that a blue indication sign carries no prohibition.
Answer: ②
Explanation
This sign, with a wheelchair symbol and the words '장애인보호' (protect disabled people), instructs drivers to protect disabled people within a disabled protection zone and is installed at the start of the zone and on both sides of its roads (Enforcement Rule Annex 6, No. 324-2). Drivers must drive with care for disabled people in such a zone (Road Traffic Act Article 12-2(3)). It is not a parking guide or a prohibition, and the elderly protection sign shows two elderly people.
