Particularly Korea ranks the highest in pedestrian death rate 36.6%, among all the OECD member nations.(OECD average 17.5%) 38.7 percent of the Korean drivers violate the stop line. So, the government has tightened control on observing the stop line. But this stop line observance rate has not improved. As the No.1 automotive company in Korea, Hyundai started thinking ‘What has to be done to save lives?’. In conclusion, Hyundai decided and came forward to carry out a social campaign.
