Yangcheon-gu Launches Customized Comprehensive Measures for CSAT Including Traffic and Noise Management

Operation of Customized Comprehensive CSAT Measures for Over 5,400 Examinees Until November 19
Deployment of 22 Emergency Transport Vehicles for Examinees, Request to Halt Construction Noise, Focused Management of Crowded Areas

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced on the 16th that it will implement customized comprehensive measures for the 2024 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) for about 5,400 local test-takers, including traffic management, noise prevention, and safety, until the 19th.

First, to ensure the safe movement of test-takers on the CSAT day, a "special traffic plan" has been established, and a traffic control situation room will operate from 6:30 a.m. to respond quickly to emergencies. Twenty-two emergency transport vehicles for test-takers (4 from the district office, 18 from the neighborhoods) will be stationed at 4 subway stations and 18 major locations. On-site personnel will be assigned to 11 test sites to handle traffic guidance and situation reporting for test-takers. Additionally, parking enforcement officers will be deployed on arterial roads around the test sites to control vehicle entry and exit, focusing on maintaining traffic order.

A "noise prevention plan around test sites" will also be promoted to create an optimal testing environment. A noise control inspection team consisting of 6 members in 3 groups will conduct a preliminary survey around the test sites to check and address noise-causing factors. In particular, the period of the third session English listening test (1:10 p.m. to 1:35 p.m.) on the CSAT day, which requires thorough noise blocking, will be selected as the focused inspection time to ensure strict on-site noise control. Furthermore, starting one week before the exam, noise prevention cooperation letters will be sent to all 36 construction sites in the district and 15 related organizations overseeing road excavation works, requesting suspension and restraint of noisy construction during the preliminary gathering day and on the exam day (before and after the listening test time).

The "safety" of test-takers will also be carefully managed. From the CSAT day through the weekend until the 19th, the "U-Yangcheon Integrated Control Center" will closely monitor youth-dense areas such as around subway stations via closed-circuit television (CCTV), establishing a cooperative system with related agencies such as the police and fire departments to manage crowds. In addition, about 450 public officials and volunteer crime prevention members will conduct local patrols to support the safe return home of test-takers.

Moreover, the district office plans to use its website and social media (SNS) to post "messages of support for test-takers" and reminders of precautions to take on the exam day.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "We will mobilize all administrative power to support our test-takers so that they can perform at their best in a safe and comfortable environment on the CSAT day," adding, "I hope you trust yourselves and do your best until the end, as you have prepared hard, and Yangcheon-gu will always cheer for the bright future of all test-takers."
