[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Seoul City announced on the 21st that it is operating liquid spraying devices equipped with intelligent snow and ice detection sensor technology and has added 10 new locations, bringing the total to 54 sites.

Additionally, in places where it is difficult to install on-site snow removal equipment such as liquid spraying devices, the city will introduce 'anti-icing pavement' that mixes additives preventing freezing into existing asphalt. By using this, the freezing temperature of snow or water in contact with the road surface is lowered, preventing ice crystals from adhering to the pavement. The city plans to pilot this on vulnerable sections prone to icing and snowfall, verify its effectiveness, and then expand its use.

Since November 15 of last year, the city has been operating a 24-hour Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters to prepare for sudden heavy snowfall.
