Continuous Traffic Improvements Around Suwon Station

Suwon City and Suwon South Police Precinct have implemented multifaceted traffic improvement measures around Suwon Station's rotary, including unmanned camera enforcement against illegal parking, public transit stop maintenance, and installation of traffic safety facilities.

According to the city, the road in front of Suwon Station currently accommodates 734 buses operating on 55 city bus routes, making 4,870 trips daily, with concentrated public transit lines.

Particularly during rush hours, approximately 11,748 vehicles pass through per hour, causing constant traffic congestion.

The city plans to install unmanned enforcement cameras at the south-side bus stop near Maesan Police Box in September to crack down on illegal parking and other traffic-obstructing behaviors.

The city also plans to install large all-weather bus shelters on both the south and north sides near Suwon Station's baggage handling facility to facilitate smooth traffic flow.

A city traffic administration official stated, "We plan to continue traffic improvement projects in cooperation with the South Police Precinct, including coordinating bus and taxi parking times around the intercity bus terminal near the entrance to Suwon Station's theme street heading toward Ansan."

Meanwhile, Suwon South Police Precinct is installing traffic safety facilities such as safety barriers and road markings on the six-lane road in front of Suwon Station and deploying police, exemplary drivers, and parking enforcement personnel on a continuous basis for guidance and enforcement.

The precinct determined that regular taxis were double-parking in four straight lanes among the six lanes, obstructing traffic flow and reducing the efficiency of bus stop usage. The precinct has implemented taxi-exclusive signal timing that allows more than 10 vehicles to proceed in an average of 20 seconds.

Jo Chul-hyun, head of the traffic guidance section at Suwon South Police Precinct, stated, "We have reinforced traffic guidance officers by four personnel and have painted parking lines and safety zones at the taxi stop in front of Lotte World Mall to prevent accidents and guide vehicles," adding "We are operating a 24-hour continuous enforcement system and making every effort to improve traffic in this area."
