[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 27th that it has completed the installation of an automatic snow-melting (heated road) system in the road freezing vulnerable section within the Donguibogam Village herbal natural recreation forest during winter.

The county installed heated roads on a slope road section of about 110 meters within the herbal recreation forest to prevent safety (traffic) accidents of tourists caused by road freezing and to minimize inconvenience to tourists.

This automatic snow-melting device detects the freezing state of the road surface through sensors that check for snow or black ice conditions, and automatically operates heating wires installed on the road surface to prevent snow accumulation or freezing.

In February this year, the county also installed and operated an automatic snow-melting device on a section of about 250 meters from the back gate of Donguibogam Village to in front of the main hall.

A county official stated, “We will continue to reinforce safety facilities to ensure the safety of tourists visiting Sancheong Donguibogam Village during the winter season.”
