The operational evaluation of privately invested roads is an annual assessment led by Gyeonggi Province in accordance with the Paid Road Act, aiming to improve user convenience, the safety of these roads, and management efficiency. Since 2019, the province has carried out these evaluations in collaboration with experts in traffic and facility safety.

This year's evaluation incorporates the latest research findings from the Gyeonggi Provincial Public Investment Management Center, adding assessment categories tailored to the characteristics of each road. The evaluation will also include reviews of 'facility management status' and 'disaster management.'

For the 'social contribution and efforts for mutual prosperity' category, the evaluation will also emphasize each road's community contribution activities, taking into account their ESG management performance.

Bae Seongho, Director of Construction at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We plan to carefully examine the safety and convenience of privately invested roads from the perspective of residents who use them," adding, "Based on the findings, we will strive to make these roads even safer and more pleasant."
