[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Se-ryeong] Ulsan City has prepared a 'Special Traffic Measures' in anticipation of the '2022 College Scholastic Ability Test' scheduled for the 18th.

This year, the number of test takers in Ulsan is 10,638, an increase of 612 from last year, and the test will be held at a total of 27 testing sites.

The city will operate a traffic control center to manage traffic conditions, provide traffic information, and prepare for various emergency situations to ensure smooth entry to test sites and reduce congestion during the morning commute.

An emergency communication network has been established between district and county offices, Ulsan Police Agency, and Ulsan Office of Education to enable a rapid response system.

Public institutions, financial institutions, research institutes, and other workplaces with more than 50 employees have adjusted their start times from 9 a.m. to after 10 a.m. to disperse traffic demand.

City buses will maintain on-time operation between 6 a.m. and 8:10 a.m., the main commuting hours for test takers, with flexible dispatch intervals. The taxi rotation system will be lifted to provide transportation convenience for examinees.

District and county offices will cooperate with local police stations to focus on managing roads within a 2 km radius of test sites and control vehicle entry and exit within 200 meters of the test sites.

Illegal parking enforcement will also be strengthened to eliminate traffic obstacles.

The police agency will deploy patrol cars and traffic patrol teams urgently in coordination with the control center in case of emergencies such as traffic accidents.

To prevent noise around the test sites, noise from vehicles driving in the city will be controlled on the test day, and especially during the 25-minute English listening test, aircraft and train operation times will be adjusted.
