The nation’s highways are expected to reach their highest level of congestionof the summer on Friday, Korea Express Corp. said Wednesday, advising summer vacationers to refrain from hitting the road that day.

The corporation said, after studying highway traffic flows from 2007 through 2009, nearly 4.4 million vehicles will likely be on the expressway on July 30, recording the second largest volume in history.

It said the weekend weather will be clear and the majority of students and workers are taking a summer break from July 30 through Aug. 10, adding the highway traffic will be the most tied up on Friday.

In 2009, a record number of summer vacationers hit the road on July 31 (Friday) and Aug. 1 (Saturday).

For up-to-date traffic information, drivers can contact a call center at 1588-2504, or access the websites of Korea Express Corp. (www.ex.co.kr) and Road Plus (www.roadplus.co.kr).



7월 30일 휴가철 최고의 교통 혼잡

올 여름 휴가 철 중 금요일 국내 고속도로가 가장 혼잡해질 것으로 예상된다고 수요일 한국도로공사는 말했다.

도로공사는 2007에서 2009년 사이 교통흐름을 조사한 결과 역사상 두 번째로 거대한 약 440만대의 자동차가 7월 30일 고속도로를 달린 것으로 알려졌다.

주말은 맑을 것으로 예상되며, 대부분의 학생과 직장인은 7월 30일에서 8월 10일 여름 휴가를 즐길 것으로 보이며 이에 금요일 교통 체증이 가장 심할 것으로 보인다. 2009년 최대 피서객이 7월 31일 금요일과 8월 1일 토요일 날 도로를 이용했다.

최신 교통 정보를 위해 운전자들은 1588-2504로 전화하거나 인터넷 웹사이트, 한국도로공사 (www.ex.co.kr) 혹은 Road Plus (www.roadplus.co.kr)에 들어가면 알아 볼 수 있다.
