For speeding violations, we will focus on checking and handling on expressways, national highways, provincial highways far from densely populated areas, and black spots where traffic accidents often occur. Determine the time when violations often occur to focus on handling. When handling speed, there must be warning measures, using mainly public forms, combined with secret measures.
