Busan City announced on the 24th that it will promote the 'Elevator Door Safety Signal Light Pilot Project' starting this year.

This project involves installing safety signal lights on the doors of overpass elevators.

When the elevator doors open and close, they will guide passengers about the elevator's status using green, yellow, and red lights, as well as voice announcements.

More than 65% of all elevator accidents in Busan are due to collisions, falls, or entrapments caused by user carelessness.

On the 23rd, Busan City signed a business agreement with the Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the Korea Elevator Safety Agency for the installation of elevator door safety signal lights.

The Agency plans to install safety signal lights at 1-2 overpass elevator facilities this year, and Busan City plans to install them at 33 overpass elevator facilities next year.
