Bus-Only Lanes Enforced on Gyeongbu and Yeongdong Expressways During Holidays... Watch Out for Enforcement

Yeongdong Expressway

As the traffic volume on highways is expected to surge around the Chuseok holiday period, bus-only lanes will be implemented on the Gyeongbu Expressway and Yeongdong Expressway.

On the 8th, Korea Expressway Corporation announced, "From 7:00 AM on Thursday the 8th until 1:00 AM on Tuesday, September 13, bus-only lanes will be enforced on the Gyeongbu Expressway from the south end of Hannam Bridge to Sintanjin (L=141.0km), and on the Yeongdong Expressway from Singal Junction to Hobeop Junction (L=26.9km)." However, the lanes will not be in effect from 1:00 AM to 7:00 AM.

Vehicles subject to this rule are passenger cars and vans with 9 or more seats. For 9 to 12-seat passenger cars and vans, at least 6 passengers must be on board to use the bus-only lanes.

Notably, while the Yeongdong Expressway usually enforces bus-only lanes only on weekends, during this holiday period, the lanes will be in effect from the 8th (Thursday) through the 13th (Tuesday).

The corporation especially urged, "Please be aware that there is currently heavy enforcement on the Yeongdong Expressway."
