Cheonan City in Chungnam has opened a way for compensation in case of damages caused by poor management of road facilities under its control.
On the 1st, the city announced that it has joined the public facility liability mutual aid insurance for roads, which compensates citizens who suffer physical or property damage due to poor management of city-managed road facilities.
The insured roads include all sections of city roads, rural roads, and urban planning roads, totaling 3,630 routes and 1,768.44 km in length. However, bicycle paths, sidewalks, and riverside paths are excluded.
