First, police personnel will be deployed on roads around traditional markets and large supermarkets, where congestion is expected due to holiday preparations, to prevent traffic disorder and congestion.

Additionally, temporary parking and stopping will be allowed around traditional markets until the 31st to provide convenience for citizens. However, to maintain traffic order, double parking and traffic law violations that worsen congestion will be subject to enforcement and guidance.

From the 24th, when the homecoming rush begins, to the 2nd of next month, when the return rush ends, traffic police and police motorcycles will be intensively deployed at 36 locations, including Donggwangju IC and other highway and ring road connection points leading in and out of Gwangju.

Furthermore, by utilizing the Traffic Information Center's incident information system, the police will provide information on congested sections and detour routes, and will broadcast real-time traffic conditions through TBN Traffic Radio and traffic information electronic boards to encourage vehicle dispersion.

Meanwhile, to manage traffic for grave visit vehicles, 80 traffic police officers and exemplary drivers will be deployed around the May 18th National Cemetery, Mangwol Cemetery, and Yeongnak Park on the day before and the day of the holiday to ease vehicle congestion and facilitate traffic flow.
