Daejeon City will implement a "Special Transportation Plan for the Lunar New Year Holiday" to improve mobility for citizens and visitors returning to their hometowns during the holiday period and to ensure smooth traffic flow.

As the relatively short five-day holiday is expected to see a concentration of people returning home and traveling, the city will operate a joint transportation countermeasure situation room with the autonomous districts to respond swiftly to traffic conditions.

First, to facilitate visitors to the Daejeon National Cemetery, the Daejeon Memorial Park, and the Catholic cemetery in Samgoe-dong, the city will minimize service reductions and maintain operations on six city bus routes serving these destinations.

In addition, traffic police officers and exemplary drivers will be intensively deployed at major intersections, as well as around train stations, bus terminals, department stores, and traditional markets where congestion and heavy traffic are anticipated, in order to maintain order and ensure safety.

Furthermore, in preparation for emergencies such as vehicle breakdowns or traffic accidents, on-call auto repair shops will be operated, and from February 16 to 20 the city will temporarily lift restrictions under the passenger car day-of-week driving system to prevent inconvenience to citizens' travel.

In addition, during the holiday period, the city and district-operated public parking lots will be opened free of charge to provide parking convenience, and to improve convenience for traditional market users and to revitalize traditional markets, the city will also implement measures to ease inconveniences in citizens' daily lives, such as temporarily allowing parking on roads around seven traditional markets, including Indong Market.

Nam Sideok, Director General of Transportation at Daejeon City, said, "We have prepared special transportation measures so that visitors returning to their hometowns and citizens can enjoy a comfortable and safe holiday," and added, "We ask everyone to observe traffic laws and drive safely so that we can have a holiday free of traffic accidents."
