Gwangju Police Deploy 401 Personnel and 79 Vehicles to Support Examinees on Suneung Day

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Police have prepared special traffic management measures for the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

According to the Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency (Chief Kim Gyotae) on the 1st, on the test day, the 3rd, from 8:40 a.m. to 5:40 p.m., 401 personnel including police officers and model drivers, and 79 vehicles including patrol cars and police motorcycles will be deployed to provide transportation support and special traffic management.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, it is expected that the number of parents driving students to the test sites will significantly increase compared to previous years.

Accordingly, from 6 a.m., 68 patrol cars and 8 police motorcycles will be concentrated at congested intersections around the test sites, focusing on main roads within a 2 km radius of the test sites to manage traffic with an emphasis on smooth flow.

In addition, to prevent traffic congestion caused by illegal parking around the test sites, the police plan to strengthen crackdowns on illegal parking in cooperation with local governments.

In particular, if examinees are inevitably unable to arrive on time on the test day, they can report to 112 and request police assistance, and a nearby patrol car or police motorcycle will be dispatched immediately to transport the examinee quickly and safely to the test site.

A representative of the Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency said, “To prevent noise during the listening test period, vehicles passing near the test sites during the 3rd period (1:10 p.m. to 1:35 p.m.) are asked to refrain from using their horns,” and added, “Citizens’ cooperation is needed to ensure that examinees can enter the test sites and take the CSAT without disruption by using public transportation instead of private cars.”
