Gwangju Police Secure Traffic Safety at Jeonjangyeon Urban Rally

The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency and the Autonomous Police Committee will implement traffic control on the 21st to reduce traffic inconvenience caused by the Disabled Discrimination Elimination Rally.

Seventy-five traffic officers will be pre-deployed at 17 major intersections, including the BYC intersection, which is the rally march route, to manage traffic through signal control and detour measures.

Twenty-one city bus routes (6 on Sangmu Jungang-ro and 15 on Naebang-ro) will be rerouted, and partial traffic control or detour measures will be taken depending on traffic flow.

A Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency official requested, “Vehicles passing through BYC intersection, Bank of Korea intersection, and in front of City Hall are asked to actively cooperate with police illegal parking management, traffic control, and detour measures.”

Meanwhile, the Gwangju Disabled Discrimination Elimination Solidarity plans to hold a Disabled Discrimination Elimination Rally from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM on the same day at the 5·18 Democracy Square in Dong-gu and in front of Gwangju City Hall.

About 150 rally participants (30 to 50 wheelchair users) will travel by subway from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM along 10 sections from Culture Complex Station to Kim Dae-jung Convention Center Station.

From 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, they will march on the sidewalk and the lower two lanes for about 3 km from Kim Dae-jung Convention Center Station to in front of Gwangju City Hall.
