Additionally, traffic control was implemented in areas where passage was impassable due to ice formation, including managing traffic accident sites and helping move vehicles stopped on steep roads due to cold and of heavy snow, such as Mujin-daero and the Jingok industrial complex.
The head of the Gwangsan Metropolitan City Safety and Transportation Division (Seongpil Moon) said: “We will continue to do our best to actively eliminate risk factors caused by heavy snowfall and minimize inconvenience to citizens.”
