[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Over the past five years, more than half of the vehicles caught speeding in the Seoul area were detected on the Gangnam Circular Road.

According to data submitted by the National Police Agency to Kim Young-bae, a member of the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee from the Democratic Party of Korea, an analysis of the top 55 speeding cases in Seoul over the past three years showed that 63% (35 cases) were detected on the Gangnam Circular Road. This was followed by the area near Gangil IC on Olympic-daero, which had a high number of detections, and then the Dongbu Expressway.

Additionally, 40 speeding violations were recorded during the vulnerable time period from midnight to 6 a.m., accounting for 72% of the total. The highest speed recorded this year was 210 km/h, detected in a BMW M5 in front of the main stadium on Olympic-daero in Songpa-gu.

Rep. Kim emphasized, “When looking at the status of speeding violations, the time and location patterns are repetitive,” and added, “The police should analyze various data on speeding vehicles and prepare measures to improve the situation.”
