[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency will implement special traffic management measures for the Chuseok holiday from the 3rd to the 12th.


The provincial police agency expects traffic volume to increase significantly compared to previous years as this is the first Chuseok holiday after the social distancing measures were lifted.


To minimize congestion of vehicles during the holiday period and prevent traffic accidents, the police will deploy maximum available personnel including police officers and exemplary drivers to manage traffic in expected congested areas such as highways, major national roads, local roads, and park cemeteries.


From the 3rd to the 7th, traffic management will be conducted around traditional markets and large supermarkets.


From the 8th to the 12th, traffic police, local police, riot police, and cooperative organizations will be deployed to congested sections near highways and park cemeteries to carry out traffic safety activities focused on smooth traffic flow.


On highways, police helicopters and unmarked patrol cars will be used to crack down on accident-causing factors such as designated lane violations, reckless driving, and driving on the shoulder.


Together with Korea Expressway Corporation, drone enforcement will be conducted in both directions near Jinyeong and Haman rest areas on the Namhae Expressway.


On city and other general roads, major violations such as signal violations, crossing the center line, and illegal parking will be jointly enforced with local governments.



A police agency official said, “To prevent traffic accidents, please drive safely on the way to and from your hometown and absolutely do not drink and drive. In case of a traffic accident, turn on your vehicle’s hazard lights, open the trunk, immediately evacuate outside the guardrail or protective barrier beside the road, and then report the accident.”
