Gyeonggi Province to Lift Road Boundary Zones in 18 Cities and Counties, Releasing 96㎞

A total of 96.657㎞ of irrationally designated road boundary zones across 18 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province will be lifted.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 1st that "as part of its regulatory rationalization policy, it will move forward with lifting measures for 96.657㎞ of unreasonable road boundary zones in 18 cities and counties within the province, including Suwon and Uijeongbu."

Road boundary zones are designated within a certain distance from road boundaries to prevent road structure deterioration and hazards.

Road boundary zones have often failed to reflect changes in surrounding conditions since their establishment, and building renovation and expansion have been prohibited, leading to repeated demands for their lifting.

The road boundary zones to be lifted total 96.657㎞, consisting of 52.21㎞ in urban areas, 18.001㎞ in secondary district plan zones, and 26.446㎞ in rural settlement areas.
