Anseong City Operates Comprehensive Support System on College Entrance Exam Day...All-round Support for Traffic, Noise, and Safety

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Anseong City announced on the 11th that it will activate a comprehensive support system across all sectors including traffic, noise, and safety to ensure the "2026 College Entrance Exam" scheduled for the 13th proceeds smoothly.

This year, approximately 2,200 test-takers are expected to take the exam at 6 high schools and 86 classrooms in the Anseong area. In response, the city plans to concentrate all administrative resources to ensure test-takers can take the exam in optimal condition.

First, in the traffic sector, the city will operate a traffic control team composed of 57 members including civil servants, police, and exemplary drivers, who will be deployed on main access roads to test sites. The team will support safe transportation and smooth traffic for test-takers through traffic signal control and alternate route guidance.

Additionally, to prevent traffic congestion on the exam day, the city will implement measures to relocate illegally parked vehicles around test sites and distribute advance notices from the 11th to the 12th, and adjust civil servants' commute times from 9:00 AM to after 10:00 AM to disperse traffic volume during rush hours.

The city plans to lead the way in ensuring mobility convenience by providing special vehicle transportation support for test-takers with severe disabilities in cooperation with the Anseong City Facilities Management Corporation.

At the same time, to create a test environment free from noise, the city has requested cooperation from 51 construction sites near test venues, and has arranged for all construction work to be completely halted or minimized on the exam day.

The city has also requested religious facilities around test venues to refrain from noise such as bell ringing, and will conduct intensive guidance for nearby vehicles to drive slowly and refrain from using horns during the listening comprehension section of the exam.

The city will also activate a response system for test-taker protection by conducting intensive inspections and crackdowns on youth-harmful environments before and after the exam.

Mayor Kim Bo-ra stated, "Anseong City will do its utmost to support all test-takers so their efforts lead to beautiful results," and added, "We ask citizens to show warm consideration and cooperation on the exam day by using public transportation, refraining from driving, and avoiding noise around test sites."
