The toll roads eligible for exemption are: ▲Pallyong Tunnel, which connects Yangdeok-dong in Masanhwawon-gu and Pallyong-dong in Uichang-gu, and ▲the connecting road between Jigae-ri in Buk-myeon, Uichang-gu and Namsan-ri in Dong-eup.

The toll exemption period will be from 0:00 on Sunday, September 15 to 24:00 on Wednesday, September 18, for a total of four days. All vehicles using these roads during this period will be eligible for the toll exemption benefit.

Drivers using these roads can pass through the toll booths slowly, regardless of whether they use the Hi-Pass lane or the general lane.

During the toll exemption period for this Chuseok holiday, the expected traffic volume is approximately 53,000 vehicles for the 'Pallyong Tunnel' and about 57,000 vehicles for the 'Jigae-Namsan connecting road.' The anticipated total toll amount, which will be fully covered by the city, is about 110 million KRW.

Changwon Special City Mayor Hong Nam-pyo stated, "We expect that the implementation of toll exemptions on toll roads during this Chuseok holiday will alleviate transportation costs for returning visitors to our city and create a virtuous cycle effect such as revitalizing the local economy by providing convenience to road users. I wish everyone visiting their hometown a safe drive and a happy Chuseok."
