South Korea’s capital Seoul plans to create dedicated fire truck lanes to ensure traffic congestion and other obstacles don’t interfere with the emergency service.
The city council hopes to start work in May to improve access in more than 700 areas of Seoul and the greater city area, the Maeil Business Newspaper reported. Inspections will be carried out to pinpoint the best routes to delineate, from back alleyways – where illegal parking is rife – to main roads where one lane could be set aside for emergencies.
Seoul’s council was reacting to a survey and report by the newspaper that said the situation was unacceptable.
