Incheon International Airport Corporation inspects all traffic safety facilities on Incheon Airport management roads

Incheon International Airport Corporation is inspecting all traffic safety facilities in line with the changed road environment along with the expansion of Incheon Airport.

Incheon Airport Corporation announced on the 4th that it plans to inspect traffic safety facilities on a 150km section of Incheon Airport management road by early next year and prepare a comprehensive improvement plan.

The inspection target includes all traffic safety facilities such as signals, safety signs, and road markings installed on the entrance and exit roads of Incheon Airport and nearby roads.

Currently, there are 3,548 various safety signs, 856 crosswalks, and 346 speed bumps on the Incheon Airport management road.

Considering the fact that management roads have also been expanded along with the phased construction of the airport since the opening of Incheon Airport in 2001, the corporation judged that it was necessary to maintain facilities in accordance with current standards.

Accordingly, it was decided to focus on checking whether the installation location and specifications of safety facilities comply with the Road Traffic Act and whether the connection function between adjacent facilities is appropriate.

Furthermore, traffic accident data between vehicles and pedestrians that have occurred since 2023 on the Incheon Airport management road will be analyzed to select sections with a high risk of accidents.

The corporation plans to diagnose facility deficiencies and risk factors through services, establish short-term, mid- to long-term improvement plans, and implement them sequentially.

An Incheon International Airport Corporation official said, "We will preemptively inspect traffic safety facilities with the goal of 'zeroing' accidents on Incheon Airport's management roads."
