Hanam City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Lee Hyun-jae), is set to push forward the Hwangsansageori Intersection Traffic System Improvement Project, a core transportation pledge of the 9th popularly elected administration.

The city announced on July 13 that it held the "Hwangsansageori Intersection Traffic System Improvement Resident Briefing" at the Misa 3-dong Public Complex Building on the 10th, where it explained to residents the direction of the first-phase traffic improvement measures and the second-phase master plan study.

As part of the first phase, the city will implement improvements to increase traffic capacity in the area around the Post Office Intersection. Specifically, the left-turn entry lane on Misagangbyeon-daero will be extended from the current 70 meters to 150 meters, and additional right-turn and left-turn entry/exit lanes will be installed on Pungsan-ro. The existing three lanes on Misagangbyeon Seoro will be expanded to four lanes, and a new right-turn-only traffic signal will also be introduced.

The city expects these measures to facilitate smoother vehicle flow while also enhancing pedestrian safety for those using the crosswalks.

In addition, the second phase will involve launching a "Basic Plan Study for Improving the Traffic System around Hwangsansageori Intersection." After analyzing the root causes of congestion, the city will verify the effectiveness of the improvements through traffic simulations, and then develop optimal solutions by consulting with relevant agencies and gathering resident feedback.

The study will comprehensively review not only chronic congestion near Sangil IC and vehicle weaving issues caused by the coexistence of central and roadside bus stops, but also the concentration of crosswalks in short sections, and the anticipated increase in traffic demand from future large-scale developments such as Hwangsan Officetel.

Residents have expressed optimism about the project. Park Ilsu, Chairman of the Misa Residents' Association, said, "We welcome the residents' briefing held in line with the launch of the 9th administration," adding, "We hope the city will establish optimal traffic solutions through sufficient communication with residents."

Mayor Lee Hyun-jae stated, "Hwangsansageori is a key transportation gateway for Hanam, but inadequate traffic planning during the development of the Misa district has resulted in chronic congestion at this intersection. Through the phased traffic improvement measures for Hwangsansageori, we will pursue reasonable solutions to resolve transportation inconveniences for Hanam residents and tenants of nearby knowledge industry centers."
