Gwangjin-gu 추진 for Comprehensive Plan to Promote Bicycle Use

Request for Comprehensive Plan Establishment Service Aiming to Enhance Bicycle Use Convenience and Create a Safe Environment for Residents... Developing Safety Measures through Professional Analysis

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seongap) is promoting a project to establish a 'Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Activation of Bicycle Use' to enhance the convenience of bicycle use for residents and prevent safety accidents.

This comprehensive plan establishment project was prepared to diagnose safety in advance and discover accident prevention measures due to the revision of the Road Traffic Act and the Act on the Promotion of Bicycle Use, which now allows personal mobility devices (PM) such as electric kickboards to use bicycle lanes.

The district judged that professional analysis is necessary as it is directly related to the safety of residents, and for this purpose, entrusted a comprehensive plan establishment project to an engineering company specializing in road and traffic fields.

This project, which will be conducted over the next eight months, aims to investigate and study ▲ the phased promotion direction of bicycle use activation projects ▲ safety measures to secure between personal mobility device users and pedestrians ▲ connection plans between public transportation facilities and bicycle lanes ▲ bicycle lane route plans for major traffic routes such as school routes.

Based on the project results, the district plans to establish a five-year comprehensive plan by the end of this year and actively work to create a safe bicycle use environment for residents.

District Mayor Kim Seongap said, "We intend to check the safety of personal mobility devices, which have recently become a social issue, in advance and prevent unexpected accidents," and added, "We will create a safe traffic environment so that residents can use convenient and eco-friendly bicycles with peace of mind."
