Paju City Adjusts Surrounding Intersection Signal Systems Ahead of Starfield Village Unjeong Opening

Smooth Traffic Flow Maintained Despite Surge in Opening-Day Volume
City Focuses on Minimizing Inconvenience for Residents

Paju City in Gyeonggi Province announced on December 5 that it began fully adjusting and implementing the signal systems of 12 surrounding intersections directly connected to the inflow and outflow traffic starting from December 2, in order to effectively respond to the increased traffic demand following the opening of Starfield Village Unjeong.

To reduce initial congestion following the opening of this large-scale multi-complex facility, the city utilized a 'smart intersection' system to operate traffic signals according to the traffic conditions by time of day and day of the week, and also adjusted the signal coordination system among the surrounding intersections.

Accordingly, immediately after the facility opens in the morning, the signal time for vehicles entering the building has been increased to accommodate the surge in incoming traffic, while in the afternoon, the signal time for outgoing traffic has been extended to reflect the rise in vehicles leaving the premises.

The city prepared these improvements on November 13 and began applying them on-site from December 2, just before the opening of Starfield Village Unjeong, while simultaneously collecting and analyzing real-time information. In particular, during the initial opening period, the city plans to closely monitor and analyze sections where traffic flow fluctuates significantly and implement immediate corrective measures to minimize inconvenience for citizens.

Yang Sungwon, Head of the Advanced Urban Information Division, stated, "This improvement in the signal system is a proactive measure to minimize travel inconvenience for visitors and nearby residents by responding in advance to the increase in traffic volume following the opening. We will continue to collect and analyze on-site information to further improve and supplement the signal system going forward."
