Hong Ji-sun, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport: "Thoroughly prepare for transportation safety during the holiday period"

[Financial News] Hong Ji-sun, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said on the 23rd, "Please make every effort to prevent accidents so that people can travel safely to and from their hometowns during the holiday period." At a meeting to review preparations for special transportation measures for Chuseok held at Government Complex Sejong that day, Hong said, "This year's Chuseok holiday is short, so people's travel is expected to be concentrated within a brief period, creating heavy congestion on expressways, at railway stations, airports and terminals."
In particular, he said, "Many people are expected to travel by car, so please provide real-time information on road congestion and detour routes to help them visit their hometowns more comfortably."
He also emphasized the need for each agency to prevent flood damage and safety accidents, as rain is forecast for the southern regions and Jeju Island during the holiday period.
Hong said, "I hope everyone enjoys a plentiful and safe journey to and from their hometowns by wearing seat belts in every seat, taking precautions against drowsy driving and following safety rules such as observing speed limits."
