Siheung City Provides Real-Time Traffic Signal Information for Baegot and Jeongwang Areas via Private Navigation Apps

Anticipated to Promote Safer Driving and Improve Traffic Services

Siheung City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Lim Byeongtaek) has begun providing real-time traffic signal information from March 30, 2026, to major intersections in the Baegot-dong and Jeongwang-dong areas through private navigation apps such as Kakao Map, T Map, and Naver Map, in an effort to create a safer driving environment and improve traffic services for citizens.

This service operates by providing signal information collected from traffic signal controllers to private navigation platforms through the Korea Road Traffic Authority's integrated system. Drivers can check the color of the traffic lights and the remaining time in real time when approaching intersections via their smartphone navigation apps.

With this service, drivers will be able to anticipate signal changes in advance, which is expected to reduce unnecessary acceleration and deceleration and enable safer driving. In addition, it is anticipated that the service will help prevent dangerous driving behaviors such as sudden stops and blocking intersections, thereby improving traffic safety.

The city is initially introducing the service at major intersections in the Baegot and Jeongwang areas. Moving forward, Siheung City plans to analyze the effectiveness of traffic management and usage patterns before considering whether to expand the service to additional areas.

Yoon Jincheol, Director of Balanced Development, stated, "The provision of real-time traffic signal information is a smart transportation service that citizens can feel in their daily lives. We will continue to expand citizen-centric intelligent transportation system services to create a safer and more convenient traffic environment."
