Jeolla-do city is making it difficult to drive in the old city center

Narrow wide lanes and significantly increase the size of sidewalks.

Reduce lanes and install new sidewalks in places where there were no sidewalks.

On major roads in the old city center, electric poles are being placed underground, night lights are being installed to encourage people to walk at night, asphalt is being removed, and blocks are being laid.

Drivers complain of inconvenience, but small business owners respond positively.

Jeonju City goes further

The steps between the sidewalk and the roadway were completely eliminated, the entire road was paved with blocks, and automobile traffic speeds were even lowered.

There is no level difference between the sidewalk and the roadway.

+ A large, heavy flower pot was installed so that it would not get clogged with ash even if the car rushed into it.

The reason for eliminating steps like this is said to be a measure for the benefit of pedestrians as well as the transportation vulnerable.

– Eliminates the inconvenience experienced by people with limited mobility, such as wheelchair users, caregivers pushing strollers, the elderly, and crutch users, due to steps.

– Apply universal design principles so that all citizens can use facilities equally

–

Remove the distinction between Indian cars

Recognizing that it is a pedestrian zone and encouraging vehicles to naturally reduce their speed

In this way, Jeonju City is showing great sincerity in restricting private cars in the old city center.

The reason is because the old city center is a tourist base.

It says Jeonju Gyeonggijeon and it is in the Hanok Village area.

We encourage people who come from other places to visit the Hanok Village to go on foot.

This is to encourage people to spend and stay in the old city center.

+ Even if you live in Jeonju, if you want to come here, you have to park your car in the crowded Hanok Village parking lot.

It also means that you should not park illegally anywhere, but rather take the bus.
