Unlike yesterday (30th), which was relatively busy on the
<Anchor>
highway, there were quite a lot of cars today.
I will connect the reporter at the Seoul toll booth to see what the traffic situation is right now.
Reporter Yoo Su-hwan, the car was jammed a lot this afternoon, but it seems that the congestion has been resolved.

Yes, during the daytime, homecoming and returning matrices were mixed and congestion on all sections of the highway was severe.
The road congestion reached its peak at around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but it quickly cleared in the afternoon, and as of 8 p.m., both directions are showing a smooth flow.
If you depart from Busan now, it takes about 4 and a half hours to the Seoul toll booth, 3 hours 50 minutes from Gwangju, and 2 hours 40 minutes from Gangneung.
Most of the roads are blocked, but turtles continue to run on some roads around the habitual congestion section.
Let’s look at the CCTV screen.
First, the flow of vehicles toward Seoul near Jukjeon Rest Area on Gyeongbu Expressway is slow.
The road to Seoul at the junction of Pangyo of the Gyeongbu Expressway was not fast enough, but it is now smooth.
The West Coast Expressway near Seopyeongtaek Nadeulmok is also a regular congestion section, but it was blocked and released, but now it is in a smooth state.
Today, the national highway traffic volume is 4.39 million vehicles as of 7 pm.
It is about 15% less than last year's Chuseok day, and although there were fewer visits to the hometown, road construction analyzes that there were many outings.
There are still three days left on the holiday, but tomorrow, Friday, the road seems to be quite blocked from morning.
You have to hurry to return to your vehicle.
