Jungnang-gu Implements 'Special Traffic Measures' for Safe CSAT Commute of Examinees

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will implement special traffic measures on the 3rd to facilitate transportation for approximately 3,000 local students taking the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

First, the district will adjust the working hours of employees at the district office, community service centers, and industrial complexes to start after 10 a.m. to help disperse traffic during school commute hours.

Additionally, about 20 emergency transport vehicles for test-takers have been arranged by the community service centers and the Jungnang branch of the Model Drivers Association. These vehicles will be stationed near subway stations and bus stops close to the test sites to provide free rides for students to their exam locations.

Moreover, from 6 a.m. on the day of the exam, around 120 volunteers from public officials, housewife traffic patrols, and other civic groups will be deployed alongside the police around test sites and key traffic points to assist students with swift movement and guidance.

Vehicles obstructing traffic flow due to parking or stopping near test sites will face strict measures such as fines and towing.

Jungnang-gu Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi stated, “This year’s CSAT will be held at nine schools, including two additional sites compared to last year?Shinhyeon High School, Songgok High School, and Wonmuk High School. We will support students’ safe commute with thorough traffic measures.” He added, “We also ask residents to participate in the special traffic measures by walking to nearby destinations on the exam day.”
