Gochang-gun Installs Glow Sticks on Road Curbs at Jugok Rotary Intersection

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] On the 13th, Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk announced that they installed luminous sticks on the road boundary stones at Jugok Rotary Intersection.

The Jugok Intersection on Local Road No. 15 in Gochang-eup is a key traffic point where vehicles exiting the Seohaean Expressway Gochang IC towards Asan and Mujang meet vehicles entering Gochang-eup.

However, recently, after the rotary intersection was created and the central divider and lane reduction boundary stones (marble) were installed, problems arose.

Vehicle drivers often scrape their tire wheels against the suddenly appearing boundary stones, and at night, there have been dangerous situations where vehicles ride over the boundary stones. In fact, brake marks were scattered all over the boundary stones.

County Governor Shim Deokseop, troubled by frequent complaints and safety accident concerns, sought help from the newly appointed Deputy County Governor Noh Hyeongsu, who previously worked at the Jeonbuk Provincial Construction and Transportation Bureau.

Deputy County Governor Noh Hyeongsu visited the site to assess the situation and, together with the Jeonbuk Provincial Road Management Office, installed luminous sticks in front of the boundary stones at Jugok Intersection. In the future, they plan to draw colored guide lines on the road surface and make efforts to ensure residents' traffic safety.

County Governor Shim Deokseop said, “This was a place where complaints from local residents as well as visitors to Gochang never ceased,” and added, “We will continue to solve the difficulties of the residents by putting our heads together with a positive mindset of ‘We can do it.’”
