As fewer people go to their hometown this Chuseok, the highway is less crowded than usual during holidays.

I will connect with reporters at the Seoul toll booth and find out what the traffic is going on.



Reporter Kim Sang-min, today (30th) the highway seems to have fewer cars than on weekends. How is the current trend?



<Reporter>



Yes, the congestion on the way home came to a peak between 11 am and 12 am, then quickly resolved in the afternoon, and most of them resolved about 2 hours ago.



Currently, highways across the country are generally showing a smooth flow.



If you pass the Seoul Tollgate now, it will take 4 and a half hours to the Busan Tollgate, it is expected to take about 1 hour and a half to Daejeon, 3 and a half hours to Gwangju, and 2 hours and 40 minutes to Gangneung.



Today, the national traffic volume is 3.72 million vehicles as of 6:00 pm, as revealed by the Korea Highway Corporation.



This is less than the usual weekend level of 4.46 million units, but compared to the same time period on the first day of the Chuseok holiday last year, it is about 10% less.



Tomorrow, the day of Chuseok, is expected to be added to vehicles on the way home, Gwigyeong, and Seongmyogil, and congestion is expected to continue everywhere.



<Anchor> As the number of



cars decreased, it seems that fewer people stopped by the rest area than before. How was the rest area today?



<Reporter>



Yes, I

told you about the

situation at the Anseong Rest Area yesterday, and we went back to see if the quarantine is working well.



About 400 cars can be parked in the parking lot of Anseong Rest Area, but due to the traffic, there are many vacant seats.



You can't eat inside the restaurant inside the rest area, you can only wrap it.



[(You can just eat it, but if it's cold, put it in the microwave.]



Users use an outdoor table with a blanking board or buy a convenience meal and head straight into the car.



[Kim Chang-yeon/Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi: (Blindfolded)] It was a little awkward and I couldn't adapt.

Even if it's a family, it should be like this...

.

However, the atmosphere is so much that I have to understand and adjust it.]



The high-intensity quarantine measures applied to rest areas will continue until the 4th of the following month, the last day of the holiday.
