Excessive Speed Bumps to Be Removed

Mayor Kim Seon-gi of Pyeongtaek City is moving quickly on his agenda.

Mayor Kim has drawn attention for implementing customized civil service administration for citizens.

First, the city will remove excessive speed bumps in the region. In particular, Provincial Road 6 and Provincial Road 11 will be subject to intensive management, the city announced on the 3rd.

The plan is to remove all but the speed bumps that pass through villages or are adjacent to roads and residences among those already installed, allowing for smooth traffic flow.

For Provincial Road 6, which runs between Anjoong-ri in Anjung-eup and Paengseong Bridge, six of the 20 existing speed bumps will remain, while the remaining 14 will be removed and replaced with virtual speed bumps.

For Provincial Road 11, between Sukseong-ri in Oseong-myeon and Tojin-ri in Cheongbuk-myeon, only six of the 18 speed bumps will be kept.

A city official said, "These roads had an excessive number of speed bumps installed, and residents have complained frequently," and added, "Through this replacement of speed bumps, we have been able to alleviate some of the inconvenience for citizens."
