The four-day Lunar New Year holiday has begun. Some sections of the road, which were congested, became fluid in the afternoon. Due to special COVID-19 quarantine measures, food cannot be eaten inside the rest area. We’ll connect reporters off the field and find more details. Reporter Park Hee-jae! Is the congestion on the road gradually improving on the way home? As the afternoon wears on, congestion on the highway is gradually clearing. At 3:30 pm, the total downward congestion section is 84 km. Compared to two hours ago, it was almost 100 km. Compared to the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday last year, when the congestion section was 233 km, the time to clear the congestion has sped up considerably. Congestion on the way home is expected to resolve around 4 p.m. On the first day of last year’s Lunar New Year holiday, the congestion cleared at 9 p.m. This appears to be the effect of the quarantine authorities urging them to refrain from visiting their hometown by emphasizing the rules of distance. The estimated time to travel long distances is also decreasing. From now on, it will take 4 and a half hours to Busan, 3 hours and 20 minutes to Gwangju, 2 hours and 40 minutes to Gangneung, and 1 hour and 40 minutes to Daejeon from Seoul. It is forbidden to eat indoors in the rest areas, right? The Anseong rest area, where I am, is also prohibited from eating inside. Looking in, all the restaurants are closed and the outdoor tables are difficult to use. This is a measure according to the ‘special quarantine measures’ implemented by the quarantine authorities during the Lunar New Year holidays, but it is possible to carry food in a package. Currently, customers mainly use external stores that sell precooked foods such as Papa Habana and Jupo. Korea Expressway Corporation has added additional staff to rest areas, and employees holding pickets with the phrase ‘2m away’ provide guidance on the rules from time to time. In addition, the use of rest area congestion information systems and congestion information traffic signs are used throughout the highway to induce the use of rest facilities. Unlike other holidays, road tolls are also charged from today until the 13th.
