A wildlife-warning pilot began on October 28, 2026, on National Route 17 near Cheoksan-ri, Nami-myeon, Cheongju. CCTV-based AI detects an animal and signals drivers through an LED display and warning lights. The system is intended to prompt slower driving; it does not guarantee collision avoidance. Watch the road and current signs, keep distance, and slow down safely when warned. The announcement concerns this specific segment, not a nationwide rollout.
Three checks before acting
- Watch the road and warning lights around Cheoksan-ri on Route 17.
- Reduce speed safely if an animal alert appears.
- Do not rely on the system as a substitute for attentive driving.
