Gyeongnam Police Strengthen Special Traffic Control and Drunk Driving Crackdown During Chuseok Holiday

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency announced on the 13th that it will implement special traffic management during the Chuseok holiday period, when large-scale movement is expected following vaccination, to ensure smooth communication.

The period is from the 13th to the 22nd, and the main measures include deploying personnel and equipment to 266 locations expected to be congested, such as highways, general national roads, and major parks and cemeteries, to manage traffic.

In particular, to dispel concerns about the suspension of drunk driving checks due to COVID-19, a hybrid breathalyzer capable of both contact and non-contact testing will be distributed to all police stations in the province to strengthen enforcement.

A police official stated, "Drunk driving is a serious crime that can cause great harm not only to oneself but also to everyone around. We will conduct constant enforcement to establish the awareness that even one drink means no driving."
