Jang'an-gu Partial One-way Traffic Restrictions to be Lifted Next Month

Jang'an-gu (District Chief Hong Seong-gwan) announced on the 23rd that one-way traffic restrictions on four road sections will be lifted starting from the 1st of next month, allowing two-way traffic to commence.

The one-way traffic relief sections, which are also long-standing requests from residents, include 45m of a portion of Jeongjo-ro 945-bun-gil in Younghwa-dong, a 2-section approach road to KT; 700m of a portion of Jeongjo-ro; 48m of a portion of Gyeongsu-daero 983-bun-gil (alleyway next to K2 in Songduk-dong); and 38m of a portion of Manseok-ro 210-bun-gil (alleyway next to Galaxy Wedding Hall in Songduk-dong). These sections passed the Traffic Safety Facilities Review Committee of the Suwon Central Police Station held in July and will now be implemented.

Drivers passing through these sections previously faced the inconvenience of having to take a detour of 1-2 km to avoid the one-way sections, and those driving in the opposite direction were mostly held liable for accidents. The area had suffered significant damage related to traffic congestion and accidents.

A district official urged, "During the installation period of road markings and traffic safety facilities in the one-way relief sections, please exercise extra caution when driving through these areas."
