A life baton is a device that helps citizens escape by holding on to the pole before the underpass is completely submerged during heavy rain.
After the accident at Gungpyeong 2 Underpass in North Chungcheong Province last summer, Gyeongnam Province proposed a budget for the installation of life bars to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and secured 650 million won in disaster safety grant tax.
With this budget, this year, for the first time in the country, life bars were installed on six underpasses that are close to rivers, are over 40 meters long, and have a concave center.
