View original image[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo City (Mayor Kim Jong-sik) announced on the 16th that it will implement a reversible lane system (odd-even parking system) on a section of Bukhang-ro.
The reversible lane system is a measure that flexibly changes lanes according to traffic volume to prevent simultaneous parking on both sides of the road and allow parking on only one side, thereby promoting smooth traffic flow.
Mokpo City will conduct a pilot operation of the reversible lane system (odd-even parking system) from the 17th on the section from Jukgyo-dong Suncheon Pharmacy to the designated area, and will officially implement it from 0:00 on January 20.
Additionally, 113 roadside parking spaces will be newly created on the shoulder of this road section to provide parking convenience for store users and residents.
This section is densely populated with middle and high schools and stores, where illegal parking is rampant. Moreover, since the opening of the Mokpo Marine Cable Car last year, traffic volume has significantly increased, causing frequent traffic congestion.
The city expects that the implementation of the reversible lane system will have a considerable effect on eradicating illegal parking, alleviating traffic congestion, and solving parking difficulties in this area.
