[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan City is implementing comprehensive measures to ensure the smooth progress of the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) scheduled for the 18th during the With-Corona period.

The main contents include ▲COVID-19 response quarantine management measures ▲traffic flow measures ▲transportation support measures ▲noise control measures ▲medical support measures ▲publicity support measures, etc.

From 6 to 8 a.m. on the test day morning, city buses and village buses will be intensively deployed, and bus intervals on 50 routes in areas expected to have traffic congestion will be shortened. Additionally, five temporary urban railway trains will be on emergency standby.

If the number of isolated test-takers in separate test rooms at general test sites exceeds capacity, or if there are quarantined test-takers pre-classified without transportation means, they will be transported by a dedicated infectious disease ambulance team when necessary.

From 6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on the test day, the city will operate the ‘CSAT Support Traffic Comprehensive Situation Room’ to comprehensively manage and support test-taker transportation and vehicle traffic.

▲On the test day from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., enforcement of 27 fixed bus-only lane monitoring systems and 50 mobile monitoring systems on 15 routes will be temporarily suspended (however, enforcement in BRT sections will be maintained) ▲the weekday driving restriction for private cars will be lifted ▲traffic police will be intensively deployed and special management enforced in areas expected to have traffic congestion such as the intersection in front of Sajik Baseball Stadium, Yangjeong Intersection, Goejeong Intersection, and arterial roads near test sites.

As a noise control measure, noise from construction sites around test sites and other living noises will be inspected, and emergency vehicle and fire truck horns will be restrained during test hours. Additionally, trucks will be guided to bypass test sites to prevent interference with the English listening and speaking evaluation.

Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, said, “Busan City will do its best until the end to ensure the smooth administration of the CSAT.”

Working hours for public officials, public institutions, financial institutions, research institutes, and companies with 50 or more employees will be adjusted to 10 a.m.
