Oksan (Busan Direction) Rest Area Restroom Culture Campaign Conducted

Korea Expressway Corporation's Oksan Rest Area on the Busan-bound Gyeongbu Expressway has launched a restroom culture campaign.

In 2016, Korea Expressway Corporation completed a nationwide restroom facility improvement project, and since then, each rest area has independently implemented "restroom culture innovation campaigns," such as "eliminating trash bins inside toilets." Additionally, the government is currently working on revising public restroom regulations to "eliminate trash bins inside public restroom toilets."

Accordingly, Oksan Rest Area is also conducting its own "restroom culture campaign." With increased attention to public restroom sanitation due to COVID-19, the rest area is actively promoting proper restroom use, including social distancing inside restrooms and the use of hand sanitizers, to ensure safe restroom experiences for visitors.

Nam In-ho, the head of Oksan (Busan-bound) Rest Area, stated, "As interest in sanitation has grown significantly due to COVID-19, all employees at Oksan Rest Area are striving to create restrooms where safety is the top priority."
