Yang Bu-nam "Severe Traffic Congestion on 'Gwangju Seochang Nuljae-ro' Requires Environmental Improvement"

Yang Bu-nam, a preliminary candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea for Seo-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, proposed policies for local traffic safety.

On the 18th, Candidate Yang stated that traffic congestion near 'Seochang Nonghyup~Baekma Intersection' must be resolved and pedestrian safety secured.

Nuljaero, a major 2.5 km traffic route connecting Pungseo-ro and Hoejae-ro, is mostly composed of two-lane roads in both directions, causing severe congestion.

Also, although Songhak Elementary School is adjacent to this section and there is a large elderly population, there are no sidewalks, or farm roads serve as pedestrian paths, indicating a need for improvement in the pedestrian environment.

Candidate Yang said, “To resolve traffic congestion near Seochang Nonghyup~Baekma Intersection, the lanes must be expanded,” adding, “Along with road expansion, we will also strive to improve the pedestrian environment to ensure citizens’ safety.”

Meanwhile, since launching the Policy Advisory Committee on January 11, Candidate Yang has been seeking solutions to local issues through continuous policy proposals such as ‘Establishing the Seo-gu Million City Seochang System,’ ‘Proposing alternatives for the Pungam Intersection underpass,’ and ‘Suggesting measures to alleviate traffic congestion due to Central Park development.’
