"Keep the First Lane on Highways Clear" On-Site Guidance for Designated Lane Compliance

Intensive Promotion and Guidance Until July

The National Police Agency will conduct intensive publicity and guidance on violations of designated lanes, such as maintaining a constant speed in the first lane of the highway and large vehicles driving in the upper lanes, from the 23rd of this month until July 21st.

Vehicles traveling on the highway must drive in the left lane for small vehicles and the right lane for large vehicles, depending on the type of vehicle. The first lane is only to be used for overtaking, but violations such as maintaining a constant speed in the first lane of the highway frequently occur.

The first lane of the highway will be continuously highlighted through various media such as road message signs (VMS), placards, and advertisements, selecting messages like "Overtaking Lane."

A promotional video will be produced to publicize major violation cases and the risks of traffic accidents. In addition, when vehicles violating designated lanes are found, active guidance will be provided, and habitual and chronic violators will also be subject to enforcement.

An official from the National Police Agency stated, "With the full relaxation of COVID-19 quarantine measures starting this year, traffic volume and population movement have increased, raising the risk of traffic accidents. If basic traffic safety culture such as compliance with designated lanes spreads, highways can be used more safely."
