Is the rest area still busy?

[기자]

As lunch breaks come, the number of visitors to the rest area is increasing considerably.

You can buy snacks or watch them take a break.

Special quarantine measures have been applied to this Lunar New Year holiday as in the last Chuseok.

Food cannot be eaten at indoor stores, and food must be wrapped and served in a car or at an outdoor table with a transparent screen.

In addition, there are staff wearing yellow vests in various places to guide you on how to keep your distance.

Fever screening and entry/exit listings must also be made under the guidance of the agent.

The quarantine authorities asked for the strict adherence to the rules, saying that cases of not wearing a mask while traveling during the holiday season, eating at a rest area, and not filling out an access list were received through the safety newspaper.

Shall we find out the highway conditions?

[기자]

You can see it as the usual weekend-level traffic.

The down line looks smooth.

From 11 am, congestion began in some sections of the upbound line.

The area around Seocho Interchange toward Seoul on the Gyeongbu Line is congested, but the rest of the main sections are not yet largely blocked.

If you depart now, it takes about 5 hours from Busan to the Seoul Toll Gate, 3 hours and a half from Gwangju, and about an hour and 40 minutes from Daejeon.

The congestion will peak around three or four in the afternoon, and will resolve between 9 and 10 PM.

Today, 3.49 million vehicles are expected to move nationwide.

The number of cars entering the metropolitan area is expected to be 370,000, a decrease of 24% compared to the last holiday.

The government predicts that 29.2 million people will move around 33% from last year during the Lunar New Year holidays.

We hope that all those who have visited their hometown and those who have pledged to follow the quarantine regulations thoroughly and safely finish the Lunar New Year holidays.
